Since the information in the source is submitted as a hearing, and not an official announcement, it is logical that at the time of the publication of the material of The Sun, neither in social networks of the aforementioned celebrities, nor on the resources of large streaming platforms there were no confirmation or refutations of such news. They did not write about this rumor and authoritative publications about the film industry - on the contrary, July 15 on sites Variety, The Hollywood Reporter And Deadline Hollywood Refutations of the publication in the British tabloid came out.

The fact is that on that day on his Twitter, Cameron himself commented on the news. “Usually I do not react to insulting rumors in the media, but now I need to do this.
