Simmons, 62, admires Affleck not just as an actor but also as a filmmaker and hopes to work in a film helmed by the "Argo" director, reported Contactmusic. "I worked with Ben a couple of years ago on 'The Accountant' and I met him years before that. So yes, I'm excited to work with him and hope to work with him on the other side of the camera at some point, as well," Simmons told Red Carpet News TV when asked about his experience of working with Affleck.

"He's obviously a talented filmmaker in addition to being the movie star that he is and the good actor that he is, which I think will continue to develop as we see Batman and Commissioner Gordon not be spring chickens and we get into some interesting stories about these weathered kinds of guys." "Justice League" is set to arrive in theatres on November 17.
