Jennifer Garner may be collaborating with Ben Affleck on his latest movie outing.

The actress, who was married to the Oscar-winning filmmaker for 13 years, is in negotiations to star opposite Matt Damon in the crime thriller movie "Animals" set up at Netflix.

Affleck is directing the feature and producing with Damon via their Artists Equity banner, alongside the company’s Dani Bernfeld. Also producing are Brad Weston and Collin Creighton via their MakeReady shingle.

Written by Connor McIntyre with revisions by Billy Ray,"Animals" follows a mayoral candidate and his wife whose son is kidnapped. Surrounded by plenty of enemies, political and otherwise, the husband and wife have no choice but to get their hands dirty in order to save their son.

Garner would play the wife opposite Damon as the candidate.

The pic comes after a slew of collaboration between the actress and Netflix, having starred or co-starred in the streamer’s hits "Family Switch," "The Adam Project", and "Yes Day".

Garner and Affleck have appeared together in front of the camera in a trio of movies, all made before their marriage in 2005: 2001’s "Pearl Harbor", 2003’s "Daredevil", and that movie’s spinoff, "Elektra", released in 2005. She has not yet, however, been directed by him.

Affleck and Garner gone their separate ways in 2018.
