Even though actor Armie Hammer currently faces multiple abuse accusations from a handful of women, including emotional abuse, sexual coercion, physical abuse, knife scars, and bruises, he’s not leaving the silver screen just yet. According to Page Six, Hammer’s next film, Crisis, co-starring Gary Oldman (accused of violently hit his ex-wife with a phone receiver and making anti-Semitic comments) and Evangeline Lilly (once a covid-19 denier who compared social distancing to “Marshall Law” [sic]) will be released March 5. This is despite the fact that Hammer has resigned from two of his other forthcoming roles: Shotgun Wedding alongside Jennifer Lopez, and The Offer, a show about the making of The Godfather. He was also dropped by WME, his talent agency.
“One executive familiar with the film and its distributors,” as Page Six describes its source, said, “It would have taken too many months to reshoot [Hammer’s] role. They don’t want to spend the kind of money it would take to hire another actor, delay the release, do all the reshoots. This movie doesn’t have that large a budget. It would take two to three months.”
There’s also reason to believe Hammer will appear in another forthcoming film, Death on the Nile, based on an Agatha Christie novel and starring Annette Bening, Gal Gadot, and Jennifer Saunders, because it was due last summer—prior to the accusations against Hammer coming to light. Those originated from supposedly leaked Instagram DMs last month, in which Hammer allegedly described gruesome cannibalistic desires. “If I wanted to cut off one of your toes and keep it with me in my pocket so I always had a piece of you in my possession?” read one quote. “I am 100% a cannibal. I want to eat you.”
“It would be tough to cut Armie’s part since he’s the romantic lead that triggers the whole plot of women fighting over him,” an insider who worked on Death on the Nile said. “Trust me. Armie is a charming snake in the movie. I’m not sure the controversy will hurt.”
