The actor was asked about leaving the movie when he was in Venice for the Venice Film Festival.
Phoenix stated: “It would just be sharing my opinion and the other creatives aren’t here to share their piece,” according to Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times.
“I don’t think that would be appropriate. I just don’t believe I will since I don’t think it would be helpful. I’m grateful.
Owing to Phoenix’s abrupt departure from the movie, losses are estimated to be more than seven figures.
Insiders who talked with IndieWire claim that a number of stakeholders still need to be paid for the movie.
Furthermore, since Phoenix was required to participate in the movie, Ramirez will no longer be allowed to feature in it.
