Matt Damon will portray superhero if Ben Affleck directs him

Matt Damon is ready to slip into a superhero suit, but he has a condition - Ben Affleck has to be there.

The 45-year-old actor, who will soon be returning to the Bourne franchise as the lead in fifth film Jason Bourne, can be tempted by a stint with Marvel or DC only if Affleck sits on the director's chair, reports the Independent.

"I'd consider anything with the right director, but I can't imagine there are any superheroes left, I think they're all taken at the moment. If [Ben] was directing me, I'd jump on it in a New York minute. I'd love to work with Ben," he said at the Jason Bourne premiere.

Affleck, who recently starred as Batman in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' has written his own solo Batman movie and will be both starring in it and directing.
