DETROIT – Ben Affleck says his time in the Detroit area, where he’s been filming “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” has made a big impression on him.
The actor tells the Detroit Free Press (http://on.freep.com/1tb1vGU ) in an interview published Monday he toured some factories where cars are built and was “moved by how American industry is actually employing American workers here in Michigan.”
Affleck says he “got a Ford and got a GM car” as a way to “contribute to the economic well-being of this area.” He has been exploring the region with his wife, Jennifer Garner, and says Detroit deserves more national attention for its economic struggles.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is scheduled for release in 2016. Affleck also stars in “Gone Girl,” a thriller out this fall.
