In an exciting development for fans of the former power couple, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are reportedly in talks to collaborate on a new Netflix film titled 'Animals.' The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Garner, 51, is in discussions to star in the movie, which will be directed by Affleck.

'Animals' centers around a mayoral candidate and his wife, whose son is tragically kidnapped. With the crime intertwined with politics, the couple finds themselves compelled to take matters into their own hands in order to save their child. Affleck, 51, will be helming the crime thriller under his and Matt Damon's Artists Equity banner, with Damon also starring in the film.

This potential collaboration marks a long-awaited reunion for Garner and Affleck, who have previously shared the screen in films such as 'Pearl Harbor' (2001), 'Daredevil' (2003), and its 2005 spinoff, 'Elektra.' However, this would be the first time that Garner would be directed by Affleck, who is an Oscar winner.

Although the details of Garner's role in 'Animals' have not been disclosed, she is known for her impressive acting skills and diverse range of film roles. The Emmy nominee is also no stranger to Netflix, having appeared in the popular time-travel thriller 'The Adam Project' alongside Ryan Reynolds.

Garner's recent Netflix projects include the family-friendly movies 'Yes Day' and 'Family Switch,' demonstrating her versatility in both comedic and dramatic roles. Meanwhile, Affleck's collaboration with Damon in the critically acclaimed film 'Air' showcases their ability to deliver a captivating story.

The news of Garner and Affleck potentially working together comes at a time when their personal lives have also garnered attention. The former couple, who divorced in 2018, have maintained a friendly relationship while co-parenting their three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Sam, 11.

Affleck made headlines with his recent marriage to Jennifer Lopez, and Garner has been in a relationship with Cali Group CEO John Miller since 2018. However, this potential film collaboration between Garner and Affleck shows that their professional partnership continues to thrive.

As fans eagerly anticipate confirmation of Garner's participation in 'Animals,' it is clear that a reunion of these talented actors will undoubtedly generate excitement and nostalgia. With their history of on-screen chemistry, audiences can look forward to witnessing their dynamic performances once again in this gripping crime thriller.
