After a small setback in his career trajectory, Armie Hammer is back in business and his upcoming movie, "Citizen Vigilante", is getting plenty of attention. The actor has been at the centre of controversy for years for alleged sexual abuse and cannibalism, among other things.
Fans got a sneak peek of his new film, in which he plays a justice-seeker. His character is built up as a hero in a world where the justice system is failing its citizens. "Dude is chewing through the scenery," commented one person after seeing the trailer.
"Citizen Vigilante" marks his return to the big screen for the first time since "Frontier Crucible" came out last year.
Armie has faced his share of online criticisms since 2021. That’s when some alleged messages leaked with Armie reportedly telling some women about his violent sexual fantasies. One alleged message posted had him reportedly telling someone, "I am 100% a cannibal."
In addressing the allegations, Hammer called them "bizarre" during his appearance on the "Painful Lessons" podcast in June 2024. Back in 2021, his ex Courtney Vucekovich told Page Six that Hammer told her that he wanted to break her rib "and barbecue and eat it."
"People called me a cannibal, and everyone believed them," Hammer said on the podcast. "They’re like, 'Yep, that guy ate people.' Like, what? What are you talking about? Do you know what you have to do to be a cannibal? You have to eat people! How am I going to be a cannibal?! It was bizarre."
The "Social Network" star said that there were "discrepancies in whatever it was that people said," adding that he was "now at a place in my life where I’m grateful for every single bit of it."
