It’s been a little over two years since Taika Waititi’s film, Next Goal Wins, was announced. Due to the pandemic and Waititi’s work on Thor: Love and Thunder, it was unclear when the movie would be released, but it is finally set to come out this year. However, The Hollywood Reporter revealed this week that the movie recently underwent some big reshoots. Arrested Development and The LEGO Batman Movie alum, Will Arnett, has replaced Call Me By Your Name and The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’s Armie Hammer. Next Goal Wins is the latest in a line of projects Hammer has exited since he was accused of sexual assault by multiple women. Hammer denies the accusations, which are under investigation by the Los Angeles police department. After being dropped by his agents at WME, he left the Jennifer Lopez movie Shotgun Wedding, Paramount+‘s Godfather series, and the Broadway play The Minutes. Hammer’s last upcoming project is the Fox/Disney movie, The Death on the Nile, which is set to be released next month.
