The future of cinema is with Marvel-like franchises according to Ben Affleck
"If I had to bet, a drama like Argo would never be shown in theaters now. It would be treated as a limited series. I think theatrical films will get more expensive and events will be organized. They will be primarily for young people and will be based on 'Hey, I'm so involved in the Marvel Universe that I can't wait to see what happens next.' And there will be 40 movies a year probably about new IPs, sequels and animated projects. " .

The "Poison Tooth" for The Last Duel
Affleck's speculation about the future of cinema came after Damon pointed out that their medieval drama The Last Duel (which you can recover to Blu-Ray on Amazon) is currently the number one movie on iTunes, despite major box office problems when it hit theaters last October. Here's how Affleck continued about it:“The Last Duel really won the audience in my opinion. I starred in bad movies that didn't work and I didn't flinch. I know why people didn't go to the movies, but I liked what we did. I like what we had to say and I'm really proud of it. So I was really confused. And then, seeing that it was going well in streaming, I thought: 'Well, here it is. That's where the audience is. '"
Affleck had previously shared similar utterances about The Last Duel's box office failure, saying that" a seismic shift "in cinematic habits led to the film's poor performance:
"One of the fundamental ways in which cinema is changing is that the people who want to see complicated, adult dramas are the same people who say to themselves: 'You know what? I don't need to go to the cinema because I would like to pause it, go to the bathroom, finish it tomorrow '".

Less than a month after its theatrical release, the film starring Tom Holland is the sixth highest-grossing film of all time at the box office. In any case, Affleck is no stranger to starring in both blockbusters aimed at mass audiences and smaller films made primarily for adults. Although currently promoting the George Clooney-directed drama The Tender Bar, Affleck will reprise his role as Batman in the DC Extended Universe film The Flash.
