Kevin Spacey has formally exited his lead role in the forthcoming film 1242: Gateway to the West, ahead of his UK trial date scheduled for 6 June 2023.
The House of Cards actor was set to star in the historical drama, as a spiritual man who attempts to stop Genghis Khan’s invasion of Europe.
Directed by Péter Soós, Gateway to the West is scheduled to begin two months of filming on 17 October.
The first public allegation made against Spacey was in 2017 by actor Anthony Rapp, who accused Spacey of abusing him at a party in 1986, when Rapp was 14.
