Armie Hammer reveals shock return to acting after cannibalism scandal... as baffled fans have mixed reactions

Armie Hammer is making a surprising comeback to the silver screen, following a period of time away due to allegations about his personal life that significantly impacted his thriving acting career in Hollywood.

38-year-old actor famous for his role in “Call Me By Your Name,” faced a downfall as several women levied accusations against him, claiming incidents of physical violence and expressing dark fantasies about cannibalism.

He was investigated by the LAPD in 2023 but ultimately wasn’t charged.

In the upcoming vigilante thriller titled “The Dark Knight,” directed by Uwe Boll, Hammer will be stepping into the lead role. Filming for this project is set to commence in Croatia on January 27th, as reported by Variety.

In “The Dark Knight” (not to be mistaken for the 2008 Batman movie directed by Christopher Nolan), Hammer’s character, Sanders, is portrayed as a vigilante who pursues criminals, assuming the role of meting out justice himself.

His actions as a self-appointed guardian turn him into a revered figure by the public and an internet sensation, yet the local police commander sees him as a threat to our community and pledges to capture him.

In a fresh and contemporary twist, Boll expresses his eagerness to breathe life into the tale of The Dark Knight, with such an exceptional group of actors.

Film director Boll, who hails from Germany, has garnered much debate due to his work on critically disliked movies such as Alone in the Dark (often labeled as one of the most poorly-received films) and BloodRayne.

Michael Roesch, the executive producer, stated that our film stands apart distinctly from Chris Nolan’s production, ensuring no likelihood of perplexity or mix-up.

Featuring Armie Hammer as our leading star, with additional talented cast members yet to be revealed, and boasting a powerful screenplay, we’re eagerly anticipating the production of our next film. Building on the success of ‘First Shift’ and ‘Run,’ we aim to deliver another compelling movie experience soon.

During a recent podcast conversation, Hammer expressed that his professional journey has gained momentum once more. He also shared, with an evident sense of satisfaction: “I’ve been receiving numerous invitations for work, and my schedule is filling up quite nicely. The opportunity I declined after four years of hardship was the most exhilarating rejection I’ve ever experienced.

Swiftly, fans expressed their opinions about the casting choice on various social media platforms, with one individual stating: “It’s surprising that people are willing to watch him perform in a movie.

One person said, “‘Cannibal Redemption Arc” isn’t what was written. Another suggested, “He has a part that allows him to fully immerse himself.

Originally stated: ‘This individual was meant to portray Batman in George Miller’s “JUSTICE LEAGUE: MORTAL” and will now star as The Dark Knight in Uwe Boll’s production.’

‘The actor was initially chosen for the role of Batman in George Miller’s “JUSTICE LEAGUE: MORTAL”, but he is now set to appear as The Dark Knight in a film by Uwe Boll.’

‘I can’t imagine the roles he was turning down

‘A comeback in an Uwe Boll movie is not really a comeback.

‘Is it April 1st already?

‘batman fighting a cannibal and directed by Uwe Boll? i’ve waited a lifetime for this movie

‘Men get away with everything i am tired..

It’s clear that Nikki Glaser will undoubtedly enjoy herself immensely at the Golden Globes next year.

‘HE’S GONNA EAT UP HIS CO-WORKERS.’

Hammer also recently filmed Travis Mills’ Western Frontier Crucible. 

In February 2021, Effie Angelova, then 26 years old and Hammer’s former girlfriend, claimed that he had violently raped and abused her in the year 2017. His legal representative refuted the rape allegations, stating that all of his sexual interactions were discussed, agreed upon consensually prior, and actively participated in by both parties.

Previously, Hammer admitted that he feels thankful for the scandal involving accusations of cannibalism and abuse, which ultimately led to the downfall of his thriving Hollywood acting career.

On the Painful Lessons podcast, the actor expressed that, despite what others might have said or events that transpired, they are currently at a point in their life where they feel thankful for each and every part of it.

Currently, I find myself in a state of profound gratitude due to the experiences I’ve gone through. Prior to these events, my life was not as fulfilling. I rarely felt good about myself, never truly satisfied, always wanting more, and never reached a point where I felt content with who I am or had strong self-esteem.

I’ve always been unsure of how to provide my own affection or validation. However, I found a role where I received these things abundantly from others, sparing me the need to learn how to do it for myself.

In response to allegations of cannibalism, he stated emphatically: “They labeled me as a cannibal, implying that I consume humans! Are you kidding me?! Let me clarify – in order to be a cannibal, one must actually eat people!

He described his decline as follows: “It felt like a self-destruction, a professional end. A catastrophic explosion occurred in my life, wiping out everything.

In July 2020, his ex-spouse, Elizabeth Chambers, parted ways with him. They have two young kids together.

During that phase, the star admitted that he had considered taking his own life, expressing: “I had numerous moments when I felt I could bear no more. I was receiving a lot of hostility… it seemed to penetrate deeply… at one point, I felt utterly overwhelmed.

Initially, I found myself near the seashore and decided to venture quite a distance into the water. I ended up floating there for a while, but it was not a genuine attempt at taking my own life – more like a weak or half-hearted one. However, I couldn’t bring myself to do that, considering the impact such an action would have on my children.

He acknowledged that his Hollywood career has stalled for the time being, but shared that he’s busy constructing his own creative space, and in the process, is working on writing a screenplay.
