1. Reuniting on the big screen
Ben and Adam have previously worked together on the 2019 movie “Marriage Story”, where they played opposing lawyers. This time around, they are reuniting for “The Last Duel”, a historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott. The two will play knights, with Ben as Jean de Carrouges and Adam as Jacques Le Gris, who both go to battle to prove their innocence after de Carrouges’ wife accuses Le Gris of rape. Fans are excited to see these two talented actors share the screen once again.
Despite working together before, the two actors had very little interaction during the filming of “Marriage Story”. However, they have expressed their admiration and respect for each other’s work in various interviews. It’ll be interesting to see how their dynamic is on set this time around, especially given the intense and emotional nature of the script.
Aside from “The Last Duel”, both actors have busy schedules. Ben is also set to direct and star in the upcoming movie “The Big Goodbye”, while Adam will star in the sci-fi thriller “65”.
2. Ben Affleck’s career highs and lows
Ben Affleck has had a long and successful career in Hollywood, but it hasn’t always been smooth sailing. He first gained fame in the late ’90s with movies like “Good Will Hunting”, which he co-wrote and starred in with childhood friend Matt Damon. The duo won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film.
However, in the following years, Ben’s career hit a rough patch. He starred in several flops and was constantly criticized by the media for his personal life, including his marriage to actress Jennifer Garner. It wasn’t until his role as Batman in the DC Extended Universe that he regained some of his former glory.
Now, with “The Last Duel” and “The Big Goodbye”, as well as his recent return to sobriety, Ben seems to be on an upward trajectory once again. Fans are rooting for him and excited to see what he’ll do next.

From there, he landed roles in big-budget films like “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and indie darlings like “Paterson”. His performance in “Marriage Story” earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Aside from his acting work, Adam is also known for his work with the nonprofit organization Arts in the Armed Forces, which brings live theater to military personnel all around the world. He served in the Marines himself before pursuing acting.
Adam’s unique look and intense performances have earned him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. Many are calling him one of the greatest actors of his generation, and with projects like “65” and “The Last Duel” on the horizon, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be slowing down anytime soon.
