JK Simmons Has Completed Shooting JUSTICE LEAGUE, Praises Zack Snyder
It was an exciting day when we learned that JK Simmons would be playing Commissioner Gordon in Zack Snyder's Justice League. The casting of this incredible actor was an inspired choice, and I can't wait to see him in the role.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Simmons revealed that he has finished shooting his role in Justice League and that most of the scenes he shot were with Ben Affleck. He also had nothing but great things to say about director Zack Snyder:
"My part is done. They are filming that for basically most of 2016, so some of the superheroes are still at work in jolly old London, but I'm back home with my family."
When asked if most of his scenes were with Affleck, he said:
"Yeah, mostly with Ben. In this first installment of the Justice League, Commissioner Gordon is not a particularly sizable part. We just kind of introduce him and see a little bit of his interactions with Batman -- and with most of the Justice League. That was a really fun set. Zack [Snyder] runs sort of a big, happy family and it's obviously, in many ways, a very different work environment when you're working on a big, giant movie like that than a relatively small movie like The Meddler. But at the end of the day, the director is the one who sets the tone. And one of the things that Zack and Lorene have in common is they're just nice, smart, competent, fun people that you don't mind spending a 12-hour day with."
It's good to know that he had a great experience working on the movie. It will be interesting to see how the film turns out and what Simmons' new version of this iconic character will be like.
I'm sure one day Warner Bros. will again make a DC movie that critics will love. I'm still rooting for these films because I so badly want them to be good! Wonder Woman looks incredible, so that could be the movie that breaks the critic bashing streak.
Justice League will be released November 4th, 2017.
