Death On The Nile Star Armie Hammer’s Scandal
Early 2021, Armie Hammer was caught in an Insta message scandal which escalated into several allegations of abuse. Armie vehemently denied them. The scandal resulted in Hammer being let go by his publicist and agency. He was also dropped from various projects.
Disney did not drop Armie citing COVID-19 and pandemic restrictions. Reshooting the film or changing it digitally is not an option since the storyline is intricate and the number of characters is huge.
The Hollywood Reporter said Disney will not consider shelving or selling off Death On The Nile. Disney believes it would be disrespectful to the actors and staff.
The newly released trailer does feature Armie Hammer but his presence is not as highlighted as Gal Gadot’s. Disney’s Death On The Nile is set to be released on February 11, 2022.
