Last year, Ben Affleck starred in The Last Thing He Wanted and The Way Back, but he has plenty more movies lined up over the next couple of years and beyond. This year finally saw the release of Zak Snyder’s Justice League, which saw Affleck play the Dark Knight. The actor-director has reached a new chapter in his life after leaving The Batman behind and currently has several movie projects in the works, including a return to the DC Extended Universe in 2022.

In the Netflix film The Last Thing He Wanted, Affleck stars opposite Anne Hathaway as a high-ranking government official with secrets to protect. In Gavin O’Connor’s drama The Way Back, Affleck portrays a basketball coach struggling with alcohol addiction – a premise that parallels Affleck’s own battle with alcoholism.

Fortunately, Affleck does indeed appear to be living his best life right now, nearly six years after releasing his last directorial feature, Live by Night. Here’s every Ben Affleck movie that’s on the way, either featuring him in a lead role or placing him behind the camera as director.

Affleck stars opposite Ana de Armas as Vic Van Allen, a man who plays psychological games with his wife. Lyne is best known for directing the ’80s films Flashdance and Fatal Attraction.
