Following the wave of Zack Snyder’s Batman-related posts on Instagram, F1 Las Vegas has now jumped into the SnyderVerse conversation.
Ben Affleck showed up at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and the official F1 Vegas Instagram account wasted no time leaning into the Batman angle, posting a photo of Affleck with the caption: “When Batman shows up to the #LasVegasGP… you know it’s serious.”
Affleck’s Appearance Adds Fuel to Batman Speculation
The timing is notable, coming right after Snyder released his own set of DCEU-style images, including a new shot of Affleck as Batman.
Now the F1 account is amplifying the moment, adding even more fuel to the ongoing speculation surrounding Affleck’s possible return if the SnyderVerse comes back.
Fans Think Affleck Looks Jacked
Fans also pointed out that Affleck looks like he’s added some muscle, which has only intensified the chatter.
With Snyder teasing Batman images and Affleck appearing noticeably bigger at a high-profile event, the online discussion is already connecting the dots.
The Saudi connection
We’ve been told the SnyderVerse is back in play with the sale of WBD and that Affleck “possibly” will be back.
According to our insiders, the Saudis are backing the return of the SnyderVerse and want to rival Marvel with a SnyderVerse-level event.
Interestingly, the Saudis have major ties to F1. They host a Grand Prix, Aramco is a global partner and title sponsor for Aston Martin, and the Public Investment Fund holds a stake in McLaren.
Update: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s film studio, Artists Equity, is developing a “Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in Formula One — a definitive exploration of Adrian Newey’s legacy” documentary. Aston Martin posted the following image on IG:
