Not So Super At Picking Battles

[Blind Gossip] People are digging in on their personal political beliefs and creating political fights out of everything lately, aren’t they?

There is one celebrity, though, who probably would have been better off staying out of the fray.

He’s a handsome movie actor who always seems to fall a bit short when it comes to the big role or the big awards.

He claims he wouldn’t even want to be in one of those big bucks superhero movies. That’s bullsh*t.

[Franchise 1] just didn’t want him for their superhero franchises. He was really bitter about that because he thinks he looks like a superhero. But he was thrilled that he landed a key role in a [Franchise 2] superhero movie. Not too many people know about that one, though, because it never went into production.

He pretends to be so above it all, but he was pissed about [Franchise 1] rejecting him and then pissed about the [Franchise 2] production falling apart. Now he’s just mad at everybody and burning all his bridges and pretending it’s about some deep-seated moral code.

Well, he’s definitely not going to be making friends in the the industry by trying to take down an entire franchise!

Who would want to call him for a lunch date? Who would want to be his friend on social media? Who would want to network with him?

He definitely needs to do a better job picking his battles!

    I don’t know the answer but boy am I ever annoyed with no longer relevant Alyssa Milano and her opinion on everything, ugh, go away!

    • pawpaw says

      OMG! Me, too! I used to love her until she decided to share her (unsolicited) political views.

  7. CardiffGiant says

    The Hammer Man himself, Armie Hammer.

    Franchise 1: Captain America and Avengers
    Franchise 2: Batman and Justice League

    The Google Summit over in Sicily to discuss climate change. All the celebs took private planes and mega-yachts to the event.

  8. exit81 says

    Armie Hammer
    Marvel (he was rumored to be in the running for Cap, then for Ant-man)
    DC (he was cast as Batman in that failed Justice League movie from 2008 that the writers’ strike thankfully murdered)

  12. squzzer says

    Armie Hammer with his Marvel comment.

    Green Lantern

    Batman

    likely have order mixed up

    Armie Hammer

    Franchise 2: Batman (in a George Miller film that fell through)

  16. inmichigan says

    Armie Hammer. Marvel, DC. Almost in George Miller’s Justice League Mortal before it fell apart.

  17. VegasMike says

    LOL! Armie Hammer

    #1: Marvel
    #2: ?

    I’d say Robert deNiro’s because he rants excessively and swears like a truck driver. He just completely turns me off as a human being. JLaw and ScarJo tie for first place of most annoying political women, as both come across as dumb as dirt and are incredibly rude.

  19. kvetro60 says

    I have no idea who this is but frankly I wish most celebs would just zip it when it comes to politics. Most of them don’t give a rip about politics, they just spout off GOP/Trump barbs to become/stay relevant. I am not backing a political party I am just battle weary and unhappy that there is literally no respite from this nonsense.

  23. badgerette85 says

    Armie Hammer
    Op- T Swift, Bette Midler, Joy Behar, Alyssa Milano, Michael Moore …

  28. rosie-34 says

    Armie Hammer- was in the social network and would have played batman in a justice league film that got cancelled.

  33. pitbull says

    Actor: Armie Hammer

    Flunked on the Lone Ranger franchise.

    When will celebrities learn that no one CARES about their political views. Just entertain us or go away.

  34. GooglyMoogly says

    Oh Armie! You’re so cute and yet so stupid…

    His battle with the Marvel franchise. I dont know which movies he was wanting in or they were wanting him for. It doesn’t matter.

    I will say I think Marvel does a good job of casting, so if they didn’t select him for some reason, it was probably a good one…

  36. Beakerange says

    Armie Hammer
    Marvel Universe
    Batman, DC universe.
    Any cause taken up by the Kardashians

  37. Rain456 says

    Armie Hammer.
    Franchise 1: Marvel
    Franchise 2: DC(possibly Hawkman?)
    Maybe if he acted in a professional manner he’d get more roles.

  38. Spyci Paprika says

    Actor: Armie Hammer.

    Clues: similar post was about him.

    Optional: Cardi B annoyed me because she shouldn’t be encouraging low-IQ people like her to vote. It’ll be a disaster.
    Also, as much as I dislike Trump, all the Clinton endorsements and fake political correctness from all of Hollyweird really pissed me off. Do they get told to do all that “wokeness” shtick? Or threatened? Gee, I really care about what Katy Perry & Lady Gaga have to say about deep, complex political issues…..

  39. princessfrog says

    Actor: Arlie Hammer
    Franchise 1: Superman
    Franchise 2: Batman

    He tweeted this: ‘Hey, while everyone seems to be on this Equinox thing, it might be a good time to mention that one of Trump’s largest financial contributors is the chairman of Marvel Entertainment (Isaac Perlmutter)….. ’

  44. Buckskinlady says

    Actor: Armie Hammer

    Franchise 1 – The Avengers
    Franchise 2 – Infinity Wars

    Which celebrity’s recent political statements or actions have annoyed you the most? Please keep your comments civil?

    Chuck Norris and his Culture Wars articles spreading misinformation and Dean Cain

  45. Bella Ciao Ciao says

    Armie Hammer and his twitter coments about Marvel chairman fundraising for Trump reelection. Say bye bye to your career, Hollywood right now depends on comic books stories and remakes.

  47. Etta2495 says

    Armie Hammer
    Franchise 1: Marvel
    Franchise 2: DC
    He was supposed to be Batman and that production was shutdown and instead they went with Robert Pattinson.

  48. sqb919 says

    Armie Hammer tweeting about Marvel. (No clue second franchise.)

    Most annoying? Kid Rock attempting to be relevant by trashing Taylor Swift and her politics.

  49. aaajrm68 says

    Armie Hammer, but truthfully he doesn’t look good enough to be a superhero.

    Tommy Lee, He is the last person I want to hear talk about morality and women’s issues. When he likes to beat up Pamela Anderson, has bragged about using women for sex and money, and hit his own kid. He had a swastika tattooed on his arm, made racist remarks, and beat up a Jewish person.

  50. ChrisEvansFan says

    Armie Hammer who slammed Marvel (Franchise 1). Not sure with Franchise 2 though. Was he ever considered to be part of DC?

    He also made statements about the Marvel actors posting pictures with Stan Lee when Stan Lee died. He is just very salty.

  52. aaaDacia says

    Armie hammer. He got involved in the equinox, soul cycle trump fundraiser. Now he’s saying boycott marvel. Yeah ok. “…be his friend on social media” his movie role in social network. Not sure but I believe he was after the Batman file. He’s burning what few bridges he has left

  53. tpankau7 says

    this is Armie Hammer. First the comments about Stan Lee, then the toe sucking video, now he’s come out against the Marvel franchise.

  59. mizzec says

    Actor: Armie Hammer

    Franchise 1: Marvel

    Franchise 2: DC Justice League Moral (as Batman)

    Someone is super salty…

  60. radmom says

    Armie Hammer is going after the Marvel universe by accusing the head of being a Trump supporter, and encouraging people to boycott the franchise

  64. ivyleaguer says

    Armie Hammer
    Franchise 1: Batman, Ben Affleck got the role over him
    Franchise 2: Green Lantern, production didn’t move forward with Hammer as scheduled. But apparently, news just broke today it may move forward again with Hammer in the role after all.
    Other observations: Yes, he didn’t get the Oscar nod for Call Me By Your Name, despite all his lobbying and he was justifiably upset.

  65. deering says

    Armie Hammer

    Hmm. Either Warners Batman franchise (which rejected him twice) or Captain America (can’t think of any other likely Marvel franchise.)

    Batman in George Miller’s cancelled Justice League flick?

  66. TeacherKat says

    Armie Hammer: claiming people should boycott Marvel because someone involvednat the top may have donated to Trump.

    Optional: all of them. I can think for myself, and my reality is VERY different from theirs, so I really don’tcare what celebrities have to say. And cancel culture is the worst. I don’t care which side is trying to cancel someone/something- its ridiculous.

    • Summers says

      This! Why do people think they can just “cancel” things they don’t personally like or agree with? It’s everyones right to spend or not spend their money at certain companies, but that doesn’t mean they speak for everyone else on the planet.

  68. cookiedude85 says

    Armie Hammer- Marvel

    Chrissy Teigen asking everyone to cancel their membership to Equinox and SoulCycle. I think maybe “celebrities” forget about the little people who actually need jobs at these places to pay their bills. Nt everyone is a millionaire!

  74. MinnieMe says

    Armie Hammer
    Marvel
    Not sure on the other one
    The list is too long to name. All of those Hollywood celebrities who think they can tell America how to vote. They are actors, not big brains. They do what another person tells them to do and what another person tells them to say. Total fakes.

    • annabelle77 says

      Exactly! I’ve felt this way for years. Do actors seriously think we consider them role models for our lives and would even remotely use them for political guidance? They’re all uneducated and a mess in their personal lives. The arrogance is astounding.

    • OhYeah says

      I don’t think he cares how people vote; he seems to want people to boycott Marvel like they are with Soul Cycle. As if he can single-handedly bring down the Marvel franchise. 🙄

    • carpetsinger says

      Our current president was the celebrity host of a TV reality show for 14 seasons and has a star on Hollywood Boulevard, so I definitely agree celebrities should stay out of politics!

  80. charbug says

    Armie Hammer. So. Bitter. I used to think he was so hot and the best thing to happen to Hollywood for awhile… yet his mother is the biggest Trump supporter (which is her right) but to throw Marvel under the bus yet have such an outspoken Trump supporter as a mother is hypocritical.

    • Mama Bear says

      Its his millenial mindset that has cost him. The liberals can not seem to think for themselves, and certainly the millenials are not able to at all.

    • CuriousGeorgette says

      How is it hypocritical, it’s his mother’s belief, not his. Doesn’t mean he agrees with her.

  81. august2019 says

    Armie Hammer

    Optional: Chrissy’s rant about Stephen Ross. What bothers me most is that she is hosting a show with David Chang. Stephen Ross is an investor in momofuku and milk. Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. She should pull her show. She wants everyone to cancel their gym memberships, but has no problem promoting his other businesses because she is making money??

  82. polina says

    Armie but why does he want a super hero movie?? He has a shot at being considered a serious actor. Why run after a franchise and let it ruin his mood?? The guy is probably a billionaire, if not, a 3 digit millionaire. I think he’s not sight of his priorities in life.
