Ben Affleck injured left shoulder on set of 'Batman v Superman'

Actor Ben Affleck has reportedly injured his left shoulder on the set of his upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The 42-year-old star, who plays Batman in the superhero movie, strained himself due to a stunt involving his left shoulder. He was sent home, reported Ace Showbiz.

"It was hurting him pretty bad," a source said of the set injury. "He's putting his all into this role and it's pretty physically demanding. The trips to the gym are two, sometimes three times a day and on set he's like a machine."

The sequel to 2012's Man of Steel has been moved to March 25, 2016 to avoid competition with Captain America 3 which is due May 6.
