Danny Ramirez Reacts To Joaquin Phoenix’s Sudden Exit From Todd Haynes’ Queer Romance Movie: ‘It Just Gave Me…’

As a passionate cinephile with a penchant for deciphering the intricacies of Hollywood, I find myself deeply intrigued by the latest turn of events surrounding the Todd Haynes-directed queer romance movie. While Joaquin Phoenix’s departure has left many hearts heavy, it seems that his co-star, Danny Ramirez, has managed to transform this setback into a catalyst for growth.


Joaquin Phoenix recently exited the highly anticipated queer romance movie directed by Todd Haynes. While this has left many disheartened, Phoenix’s co-star Danny Ramirez has shared his thoughts on the sudden departure of the acclaimed actor.

In more accessible terms, during this decade, Ramirez has shone brilliantly in numerous remarkable movies. He considered himself established as an actor when granted the chance to work alongside the renowned Napoleon actor.

The actor who played the lead in Top Gun: Maverick was equally excited about collaborating with Todd Haynes, a renowned director in Hollywood, famous for creating remarkable films like Far from Heaven, Carol, and May December, among others.

Despite feeling let down by Joaquin Phoenix’s departure from the project, Ramirez expressed to Variety during the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday evening, “In a strange way, it has only fueled my motivation to keep going, to continue striving, and realizing that I’m heading in the right direction with my work.

Phoenix decided to leave the production as filming kicked off in Mexico, coinciding with Ramirez concluding the last days of shooting The Last of Us season 2. Notably, Phoenix had been working on this unnamed project together with Todd Haynes for a considerable amount of time before this separation.

Without giving a specific explanation, the actor from the movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” has left the project, leaving its casting in doubt. Rumors indicate that Phoenix’s character cannot be replaced, and since his unexpected departure, the entire team who had been diligently working on the film now find themselves jobless.

In simpler terms, Todd Phillips’ latest movie starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga drew less revenue than expected at the cinemas, even though it was one of the most looked forward to films of the year. The film, however, garnered mixed responses from viewers.

Danny Ramirez will be featured in the upcoming season two of The Last of Us, taking on the role of Manny Ramirez. Notable actors like Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, and others are also part of this highly-anticipated Disney+ series.

Regarding upcoming ventures for Ramirez, you’ll find him teamed up with Anthony Mackie in the film titled Captain America: Brave New World.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mackie assumes the role of Captain America, while Ramirez is cast as Joaquin Torres, poised to step into the role of the Falcon.
