Josh Duhamel in Talks to Replace Armie Hammer in 'Shotgun Wedding' Opposite Jennifer Lopez

Josh Duhamel is in talks to replace Armie Hammer in the upcoming film Shotgun Wedding.

Last week, Armie released a statement after it was revealed he was no longer involved with the film. Armie is embroiled in a controversy where his alleged DMs leaked online and contain graphic content including references to cannibalism.

THR is now reporting that Josh is in talks to replace Armie in the title role. JLo reportedly had a say in who she wanted to join her in the film, with Josh’s name surfacing early on in the search.

Here’s the synopsis: “A couple that gathers their families for a destination wedding even as they get cold feet. If that wasn’t enough, the entire party then gets taken hostage.”

Armie‘s statement about leaving the film is as follows: “I’m not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me.” He added he “cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic.”

One celebrity is claiming the DMs are real and are Armie‘s.
