Speaking with Canadian press site 24Hours, the actor/director Ben Affleck says “”I’m not working on the Justice League. One of the problems with entertainment web sites is that they need to fill pages, and that’s how rumors get started,”

It was just earlier this month where the internet went crazy with speculation once word was out that Affleck was offered the directorial position for WB’s long delayed superhero team. But at least JL sounds cool, at least Affleck thinks so. “Justice League sounds really exciting, but it’s not something I’m working on,” he continued.

How’s that for comfort? No, well how about this rumor via Moviehole that says the siblings Wachowski’s are on Warner Bros. list to direct the film? Hit the jump for more on that!

What I’m told is Warner Bros are apparently jazzed with “Cloud Atlas”, and love that it’s as much a spectacle as it is a showcase for the immense ensemble involved, so it makes sense the W’s are under consideration. “Justice League” needs to be as big on character, as it does bells & whistles, and the Wachowski’s could probably offer that.

The directing duo have also gave the studio one of their most successful film trilogies of all time, “The Matrix” trio (I won’t mention “Speed Racer”).

One out, two in?
