Armie Hammer to star in Uwe Boll's 'The Dark Knight' post-scandal
Armie Hammer is attempting a Hollywood comeback with his latest role in The Dark Knight, a vigilante thriller directed by Uwe Boll, widely regarded as one of the industry's most polarizing filmmakers. Despite sharing its name with Christopher Nolan's iconic Batman film, the project is unrelated to the DC superhero franchise, according to Variety. This marks Hammer's first major film project in four years following accusations of sexual misconduct and cannibalistic behavior that derailed his career in 2020. Hammer's reputation had fallen to such depths that he was considered 'unhireable,' much like Kevin Spacey after his own controversies. In The Dark Knight, Hammer will portray the titular character, a crime-fighting vigilante in what's described as a grittier, offbeat take on the superhero archetype. The choice of title has raised questions about whether Warner Bros. will challenge its usage. The film's director, Uwe Boll, is infamous for producing critically panned movies, often earning ratings as low as 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. For Hammer, who once starred in critically acclaimed projects like The Social Network and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., this collaboration represents a significant departure from his earlier career highlights. While the announcement has sparked debate, it remains to be seen whether Hammer's return will garner audience interest or further controversy in an industry grappling with accountability and redemption arcs.

Hammer, who was accused of rape and sharing violent fantasies, denied criminal wrongdoing. Though the LAPD investigated him, he was not charged. Despite public backlash, Hammer emphasized that his intentions were misinterpreted.
