Tsujihara supports Affleck as the best man for the job saying:

“Ben is perfect for the vision Zack has for that character,”

The controversies surrounding Affleck’s casting and fans general negative response is a good thing according to Tsujihara adding to his statement:

“The fact that you saw such a passionate response in the blogosphere is really kind of a testament to the love that people have for this character.”
