2026 has been a huge year for Ben Affleck, even beyond the release of his new Netflix film, Animals. In addition to starring in the new kidnapping thriller, Affleck also directs the film co-starring Kerry Washington and Steven Yeun. Animals isn’t even Affleck’s first movie of the year on Netflix, either. Much earlier in the year, Affleck reunited with his long-time friend and collaborative partner Matt Damon for The Rip, the Miami-set crime thriller that scored over 100 million views during its initial viewing period. In recent years, Affleck has also earned more than his fair share of both fame and controversy thanks to his role as Batman in Zack Snyder’s DCEU. While Affleck’s Batman never starred in the most beloved projects, most fans agree that the reception to the films is no fault of his.
