So, it actually exists!
Taika Waititi’s “Next Goal Wins,” starring Michael Fassbender and Elisabeth Moss, is being released on April 21, 2023.
This means that “Next Goal Wins” will be released more than three years since production wrapped. Principal photography on the film began in November of 2019 and wrapped up in January 2020. It has been in a state of limbo ever since.
The delays seem to have been caused due to Armie Hammer being in the movie. Hammer got #MeToo’ed after it had already been shot. Will we ever see this movie? No trailer, let alone any image, has been released.
Will Arnett replaced Hammer on the Searchlight Pictures Soccer comedy. The situation is very similar to what was done to Kevin Spacey on “All the Money in the World,” the former had his scenes completely reshot with Christopher Plummer as his replacement.
