The move comes amid a leaked DM controversy, as well as newly surfaced videos that show the actor seemingly drinking and licking a white substance while driving.

“A source familiar with the project told us that Hammer is ‘stepping away’ from the action comedy movie which is meant to go into production this year,” the outlet reported.

Ryan Reynolds was originally going to play his role, and is an executive producer on the film. The movie follows a couple with cold feet whose destination wedding is taken hostage.

A new set of videos of Armie Hammer engaging in what appears to be reckless activity are circulating online and causing concern.

An account being attributed to Paige Lorenze, who dated Armie Hammer as recently as December of 2020, is going viral for a tweet sent out amid the DM controversy.
