"We share the fans' excitement to see DC Comics' most popular figures, Superman and Batman, together on the big screen for the first time, which will now be arriving in theatres in May 2016. Peter Pan has delighted people of every generation for more than a century, so we are thrilled to bring him back to the screen next summer for today's moviegoers."

Zack Snyder, directed Man of Steel which was released this year and grossed over $649 million worldwide. Although the sequel to Man of Steel has yet to be titled, Snyder spoke about Affleck joining Cavill's Superman character in a statement last year.

"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," Snyder said in the statement, according to Entertainment Weekly reports. "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne."
