Actress Jennifer Garner and actor Ben Affleck were once a power couple in Hollywood, with a bond that was strengthened while working together on the movie Daredevil in 2003. However, after their separation in 2018, Garner has made it clear that she is not interested in working with Affleck again.

Reasons For Not Wanting To Collaborate

Garner and Affleck’s divorce has been amicable, but the former couple has not worked together since Daredevil. Affleck had expressed his desire to work with Garner again, but the actress stated that she didn’t want to due to creative differences. She explained that Affleck is not the fastest director, and she likes to complete her work and head home to be with her children. Although she doesn’t see herself collaborating with Affleck in the near future, Garner also mentioned that life is long, and she never says never.

Movies Together Were Not Successful

Pearl Harbor

Garner and Affleck first starred together in the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor, directed by Michael Bay. Although the film was highly anticipated, it failed to live up to expectations. The couple worked together again in Daredevil, which was also not well-received by critics or audiences. These previous projects might be another reason why Garner doesn’t want to collaborate with Affleck again.

Friendly Relationship After Separation
