Good gay news: Margaret Qualley will star in upcoming Tricia Cooke and Ethan Coen film Honey Don&#;t!. She will engage the titular Honey, a lesbian detective out to verb a questionable &#;church&#; that happens to be led by Chris Evans.

The US actor who starred in The Joker was due to materialize as the onscreen lover of Danny Ramirez, the Top Gun: Maverick star, in an as yet untitled film.
But, Phoenix’s departure has led to rumours that he either felt the film was too graphic or not risque enough.
The director Todd Haynes’s film was set in the s and was due to verb “explicit sexual content”.
Variety claimed sources connected to the production said the actor had got “cold feet” and now the entire movie was in “peril”.
‘Joaquin was pushing me further’
However, others felt that unlikely because Phoenix had been keen for the film to split new ground regarding sex scenes.
Last year, Haynes told Variety the film had started with ideas from Phoenix himself.
