Ben Affleck plans to work with ex-wife Jennifer Garner following Jennifer Lopez divorce, claims insider
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck, an actor and movie producer who runs the company Artists Equity with longtime friend Matt Damon, is now thinking of casting his former wife Jennifer Garner in a new film after his divorce with Jennifer Lopez.
Garner and Affleck are believed to have gotten close to each other lately. An insider recently told Daily Mail that the Oscar winner “has so many ideas popping in his head, he feels like he knows just what to do with her.”
“He [Affleck] feels that her [Garner's] true talents have not been brought to light, and he is just the producer who can find her the right material. She can do both drama and comedy, so he feels there are a lot of opportunities for her skills,” the source added.
Ben Affleck's previous projects with ex-wife Jennifer Garner
Ben Affleck and his 52-year-old actress ex-wife have previously worked together in ‘Pearl Harbor’ (2001) and ‘Daredevil’ (2003).

Jennifer Garner worried Ben Affleck ‘will crush her all over again’
Meanwhile, though Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner divorced years ago, their recent closeness has worried the actress, who is the mother of the actor's three children -- Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
The ‘13 Going on 30’ actress is “deathly afraid of falling back in love” with him, the insider revealed.
She is unable to trust him again after he cheated on her with their children's nanny, Christine Ouzounian, a decade ago.
The insider revealed, “She loves Ben but is worried that he will crush her all over again. She doesn't want to heal another broken heart because it is just too much drama, plus she does not want their kids to see round two of their mom in a bad place with their dad.”
“So much could go wrong if they reunite,” they claimed.
Jennifer Garner once said her marriage with ex Ben Affleck 'wasn't for the cameras'
In 2016, Jennifer Garner told Vanity Fair that her marriage with Ben Affleck “was a real marriage. It wasn't for the cameras. And it was a huge priority for me to stay in it. And that did not work.”
“He's the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He's just a complicated guy,” she explained.
“I always say, 'When his sun shines on you, you feel it.' But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow,” Garner added at the time.
