After many accusations of wanting to eat and rape his girlfriend, the Call Me By Your Name actor is pushing the movie Death on the Nile to face the death penalty.
Recently, Disney announced new showtimes for a series of its films when the Covid-19 situation in the world became less tense and cinemas in the US were reopening. Besides big names like Black Widow , another movie sank and was sadly postponed for the 6th time, called Death on the Nile . This detective and murder film has the participation of a large cast of stars, notably Gal Gadot and notorious actor Armie Hammer . Now, many people fear that Armie Hammer’s private life scandals and widespread boycott will become a “death sentence” for an innocent film.

Previously, there were many accusations related to Armie Hammer, made by his ex-girlfriend. Accordingly, the actor once threatened to “break his ribs and grill his girlfriend’s meat to eat”, and recently, he raped his ex-girlfriend for 4 hours . According to victims, Armie Hammer subjected them to violence, emotional and sexual abuse. As for the actor, he denies all accusations.
You don’t have to be a detective to know that Disney studios are in trouble because of Death on the Nile . The film is a sequel to Murder on the Orient Express , and is also Disney’s “stepchild” after its acquisition of Fox.
Even though the film’s release date has been pushed to February 11, 2022, the company still seems to be worried about the situation and public reaction to the Armie Hammer incident. Disney’s nightmare now is to come up with a plan to not “drop” this 90 million dollar movie while still respecting Armie Hammer’s victims, preserving the reputation of other stars like Gal Gadot or Letitia Wright, at the same time, “suppressed” comments related to “breaking grilled ribs to eat” or rape and violation.

Some sources from Variety said that Armie Hammer’s character plays a very important role in the content of Death on the Nile, if not the main male lead. The studio also does not consider reshooting this movie, or replacing the roles because this would increase the film’s price by tens of millions of dollars, and reassembling the all-star cast would very difficult.
After a series of accusations broke out, Armie Hammer was fired from a series of projects, including the comedy-romance film Shotgun Wedding with Jennifer Lopez, the TV series The Offer, and the low-budget thriller Billion Dollar Spy. Currently, he is still forced to promote the movie Death on the Nile, but there is a high possibility that Disney will not ask Armie Hammer to say anything about the movie anymore.
In addition, another big question mark for the audience is the future of the sequel to the famous movie Call Me By Your Name . This film was never officially produced, but the entire crew and actors wanted to return. Of course, there is a high possibility that the face of Armie Hammer or his character Oliver will no longer appear .
