Josh Duhamel In Early Talks To Take Over For Armie Hammer in Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Shotgun Wedding’ - Deadline

Deadline has confirmed that Transformers actor Josh Duhamel is in early talks to take over Armie Hammer’s role in the Jennifer Lopez action comedy Shotgun Wedding. The news comes less than a week after Hammer exited the project after a social media controversy entailing some sexual messages he allegedly sent out.

Prior to Hammer’s response last week, a spokesperson for the production said, “Given the imminent start date of Shotgun Wedding, Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision.”.

Alex Young is overseeing the production and executive producing for Mandeville Films, and Courtney Baxter for Nuyorican Productions.
