Henry Cavill is looking forward to working with Ben Affleck and thinks he will be 'fantastic' in the role of Batman.
Cavill will be reprising the role of Superman in the sequel to Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman; a film that will see him come face to face with Affleck.
Affleck was cast in the role earlier this year amidst some controversy, but Cavill is eager to work with the actor.
Speaking to Total Film he said: "I'm sure he'll be fantastic, above all else.
"As a filmmaker he's got his own style, he's not copying anyone else. He's been tenacious in his career, he's had ups followed by downs and now he's up again.
"I think that requires and shows a special strength of character and it's something I enjoy working with because jobs like this require a dedication to the work and belief in one's self, and Ben has that."
Cavill took on the role of Superman for the first time this summer as Man of Steel hit the big screen. The movie has gone on to have huge box office success as it grossed over $662 million worldwide.
Batman vs Superman will see Zack Snyder return to the director's chair and reunite with Cavill.
Cavill has also completed work on The Great Wall and is currently filming The Man From U.N.C.L.E. - where he will take on the role of Napoleon Solo.
Batman vs Superman is set for a 2015 release.
