Few days ago Ben Affleck shared that he wants a cool way to segue out of DC Extended Universe and it looks like the preparations of his exit has already been started.

According to a report in Express.co.uk, a film critic revealed on his YouTube show, that Matt Reeves already has a replacement actor in mind for the role of the caped crusader.

He also shared that while talking to a big Hollywood producer, he did validate that Reeves is looking for a replacement.

Earlier this week the Batman star hinted that he will quit the franchise.

Affleck said, "You don't do it forever so I want to find a graceful and cool way to segue out of it."

Affleck was initially in line to direct 'The Batman', before deciding to step down in order to focus on his performance.

It should be noted that Ben Affleck will be next seen in 'Justice League' alongside Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Moma, Ray Fisher and Henry Cavill.

The flick is slated to release on November 17.
