Armie Hammer Cast in Uwe Boll's Vigilante Thriller 'The Dark Knight'

The actor's first lead role since sexual misconduct allegations marks a controversial comeback with a film unrelated to the Batman franchise.

Armie Hammer, following years of career setbacks due to sexual misconduct allegations, will star in Uwe Boll's upcoming film 'The Dark Knight,' a vigilante crime thriller.
The movie, set to begin filming in Croatia on January 27, follows a character named Sanders who becomes a social media sensation while being pursued by law enforcement for his vigilante actions.
Despite sharing a title with Christopher Nolan's 2008 Batman film, the producers stress that the project is entirely unrelated to the superhero franchise.
Hammer recently returned to acting with a supporting role in the Western 'Frontier Crucible,' marking his reentry into the industry after Los Angeles prosecutors declined to file charges against him in 2023.
Uwe Boll, known for his polarizing and often critically panned films, described the story as relevant to current social issues, with more cast announcements expected soon.
