"Dark Knight Rises actor Morgan Freeman has admitted he was surprised to hear that a Superman vs Batman movie will be following Man of Steel in 2015. Freeman said that he was expecting Warner Bros to wait several years before revisiting the Caped Crusader, but wished Christian Bale&amp;#039;s successor in the role, Ben Affleck, the best of luck.   &amp;quot;After the trilogy, I thought that no one would try it again for a few years, more to let this whole thing die down, because it&amp;#039;s still there. So I don&amp;#039;t know, I hope Ben does well,&amp;quot; he told USA Today. When asked whether he would consider revisiting his role of Lucius Fox for the new movie, Freeman conceded that such a move is highly unlikely. &amp;quot;If the new movie does have a Lucius Fox I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s going to be me,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#039;t seem to work to mix characters in the movies. If you are going to change the lead character, you&amp;#039;re probably going to change all the characters.&amp;quot; Superman vs Batman will be released on July 17, 2015.
