"No, Jeremy Renner will be there though," Affleck replied, in reference to Renner's appearance in The Bourne Legacy.

"Jeremy Renner did not play Jason Bourne. He expanded the Bourne universe," Damon responded, adding: "Pattinson took your job."

Affleck is known for playing Batman in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as well as in Justice League (2017).

Pattinson's portrayal of the Caped Crusader will be seen in Matt Reeves' The Batman, which has been shooting in Liverpool this week.

Production had to be paused when a member of the film's cast - reportedly Pattinson - tested positive for coronavirus in early September.

The Batman will be released on 4 March 2022, after its previous 2021 release date was pushed back earlier this month.
