Carrie Coon debunks rumors that the production of Gone Girl has been postponed due to Ben Affleck and David Fincher's dispute over baseball caps.

Carrie Coon seems to have ended the rumors that the filming of David Fincher's "Disappearing Girl" was shut down for several days due to the baseball cap debate. The actress was nominated for an Emmy Award for her role in the TV show Fargo and has experience in film and television, including the voice of the evil Proxima Midnight in Avengers: Infinity War. However, perhaps her best-known character is Margot, who is the younger sister of Nick Dunn, played by Ben Affleck in the 2014 Vinci dark mystery thriller "The Lost Girl".

The favorite tidbit of movie trivia fans is the rumor that, due to the argument between Vinci and Affleck, the production of "The Lost Girl" was suspended for up to four days during filming. The so-called argument was because Affleck's character was required to wear a New York Yankees baseball cap while invisible. Affleck is a big fan of the Boston Red Sox. It is said that he refused to follow the instructions, which apparently caused the filming to be postponed because the two quarreled endlessly. In the finished movie, Dunn of Affleck actually wears a Mets cap, adding some possible authenticity to the story.

In an interview with THR, Coon bluntly recorded the story of the baseball cap. He said, “I don’t remember the four-day suspension of work because of the hat.” Seeing the interesting side, the actress added that she thought the story was “a little bit Exaggeration," admits that Affleck and Vinci are "very enthusiastic." Although Coon does not deny that the controversy may have occurred, she seems to refute the idea that it caused such a dramatic delay. Speaking of the relationship between the actor and the director, Kuhn reiterated, “David Fincher has caused a lot of trouble to Ben in general. But Ben really likes it,” confirming that everything is ultimately civilized on the set. Please see the full interview quote from the actress below:

"I don't remember the four days of work stoppage because of the hat, [...] so I think it might be a bit exaggerated, even though they are very enthusiastic. Also, David Fincher gave Ben a lot of nonsense in general. But true I like it very much. I mean, the difficulty on the set is that Ben always asks David from behind the camera why he is doing what he is doing, like interrogating him as a nerd in a film school. So sometimes it’s hard to let him Ben focused."

Kuhn recently revealed that she found her performance in "Disappearing Girl" "creepy", so Finch publicly defended her and praised her role in this Oscar-nominated film. Coon will return to the big screen this month, starring in the new Ghostbusters: The Afterlife. The actress played Kelly, the daughter of Egon Spengler of the late Harold Ramis in the original movie "Ghostbusters." At the same time, her former director Vinci is working with Netflix on a new project: the film documentary series "Voir".

Movie trivia fans and Gone Girl fans will be happy to finally have some solid truths about the baseball cap debate. However, people may never really know how intense the argument is. In the end, the branded sports cap did not have much impact on the finished film, and the film continued to impress the audience as one of the outstanding dramas of 2014. Margo, played by Coon, is the fan’s favorite supporting actor and leads the prosperous career of the actress, so the small disagreement on the baseball cap seems to be a reasonable price to pay for the ultimate success of "The Lost Girl".
