Armie Hammer stepped away from Shotgun Wedding in 2021, amid shocking allegations of abuse and misconduct that had come to light online. While Hammer said he was quitting to focus on his life outside the spotlight, industry insiders saw rising controversy making his exit inevitable. In any case, Josh Duhamel was promptly replaced, and the film could continue. The film became somewhat of a moderate hit for Jennifer Lopez, even amidst the chaos. Hammer's exit, though, was the beginning of a dramatic decline for him in Hollywood.
