Ryan Gosling‘s new action flick is stirring up controversy … ’cause fans are pissed about a throwaway line in the final film — and, it’s all about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

“The Fall Guy” — which is out Friday, but seems to have been viewed by some via advanced screenings — contains a joke at one point about the volatile former couple, specifically focused on their knockdown/drag-out fights from when they were still together.

In the flick, Emily Blunt and “Ted Lasso” star Hannah Waddingham — playing a director and movie producer — reportedly walk into a totally wrecked star’s trailer … when Waddingham quips, “It’s like Amber and Johnny were just in here.”

That’s apparently the extent of the comment … but, people are still pissed about it — basically arguing jokes about domestic violence, in general, have no place in the film/TV world today.

Of course, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard married in 2015 before separating just 15 months later … and, in 2019, their relationship received renewed attention when JD sued AH for defamation over a 2018 Washington Post op-ed she wrote about domestic violence.

RULING IN FAVOR OF DEPP

After years of litigation — and a trial broadcast for millions to watch — a jury ruled mostly in favor of Depp … awarding him millions in damage. Heard was also awarded a couple million for her countersuit.

The team behind ‘Fall Guy’ tried to play the yearslong conflict for laughs — and, is now dealing with a ton of vitriol before the movie’s even in theaters.

An early stumble for “The Fall Guy” … we’ll have to see if the movie can regain its footing.
