roles

their

part and came out saying that the actress decided not to tell

them

The 2008 film launched Robert Downey Jr to superstar status for playing Tony Stark alongside co-star Terence Howard. who played rhodey, but the massive success of the franchise was worth it for everyone except howard, who insisted that he was screwed after the first film took off, claiming that the producers wanted him to take a massive pay cut for the sequel. because they believed it would be successful. or without him, unfortunately they were right and don cheadle was reappointed as tony stark's right hand man since it's safe to say that howard was not at all happy and took it out on robert downey jr in watch what comes live quote it turns out that the The person to whom that I helped become Iron Man when it came time to come up a second time, he took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me.

He went on to say that when the studio approached him about the second movie, they said Look, we're going to pay you 1 8 of what we contractually had for you because we think the second one will be successful with or without you, that's when Howard called Robert Downey Jr only to be practically ghosted, that was pretty shady, but MCU fans seemed totally fine with the trade, as it was clear that Don Cheadle brought a lot to character number eight, Crispin Glove, the actor was cast as George McFly, the father of Marty, the main character of Back to the Future, after the popularity of the box office hit, plans were already being laid for the sequel. moving and the previous cast was called back, but from the beginning of salary negotiations, Glover was unable to reach an agreement with the producers, essentially asking for too much money to participate in the script and when the studio rejected his request, the script. was restructured to keep the character on screen as little as possible and was replaced by actor Jeffrey Wiseman, who actually had to wear makeup to look like Glover, not only that, but the filmmakers used photographs of him from the first film and They did everything they could. to place the original actor's image there, so without his permission they essentially used his image, which led the actor to file a lawsuit claiming that they had used his image without his consent and he still criticizes the decision of him to this day.

They said something was

stolen

from me. and it's illegal to steal something, it's really that simple, bob gale is literally a thief, that's no exaggeration, so it's clear that gloveman still carries a lot of frustration even now, number seven, ryan gosling, it's really hard to imagine that They fired the actor. a film set and replaced two days before production began, but that's exactly what happened. Ryan Gosling was set to star in Peter Jackson's film adaptation of Lovely Bones as Susie's father alongside Sercia Ronin and Stanley Tucci. It was a very heavy role because his character's daughter is brutally murdered at the beginning of the film and he has to overcome his immense pain to try to find the perpetrator, so naturally, Gosling believed that his character Jack Salmon should have a certain appearance to convey his level of pain and decided to gain weight for the role, but it turns out the filmmakers weren't happy when he gained 60 pounds.

He explained his vision in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. We had a different idea of ​​what the character should look like. I really think he should be 210 pounds. He even drank melted Haagen-Dazs ice cream to prepare for the role and in the end he dedicated himself completely to achieving the role, when Gosling showed up on the set, he was practically written out of the film and replaced two days before production by nobody else. that mark wahlberg number six megan fox her role in the first two films of the live-action transformers franchise helped catapult her to a new level of stardom, but she couldn't stick around for the entire series, michael bay's third transformers film proved to be a milestone for the franchise and made over a billion dollars at the box office, and sadly, Megan wasn't a part of it.

Her character Michaela was eliminated and in her place was replaced by Rosie Huntington Whiteley as Sam's new love. Interestingly, it turns out that Megan was fired from Transformers Dark of the Moon during production after she compared Michael Bay to Hitler and called him a nightmare to work with in an interview with Wonderland. From that point on, there were conflicting reports about whose decision it was. and why it was done, but it wasn't until 2011 that Bae confessed that it was actually Steven Spielberg who told him to fire her after she made those controversial comments. In fact, after she was fired from Dark Moon, Megan stopped appearing in bigger films. her completely, but she has since repaired her relationship with Bay and even started in two of her number five Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies.

Samantha Morton. She was originally cast in the voice-only role of Samantha, an OS who falls in love with the lonely divorcee. man played by joaquin phoenix in the 2013 film her, although the plot itself may sound a little crazy, the film sells the central romance wonderfully and was very well received by critics, scoring a whopping 94 on rotten tomatoes, samantha morton no she was only confirmed for the role. But she actually completed filming all of her characters for the movie only to ultimately lose the role to Scarlett Johansson, so what went wrong? Well, director Spike John said that Samantha was with us on set and she was amazing, it was only in post-production when we started editing and realized that what the film needed was different from what Samantha and I had created together, so we re-edited which is a bit sad, but Morden took it all in stride, the British actress told Vanity Fair if you listen to my voice and you listen to Scarlet's Voice are just completely different flowers and although she was disappointed not to attend the premiere of the film, confirmed that she did not have any type of resentment and that she was actually delighted that the project was doing so well for the number four actor who played Johnny Depp, The Pirates of the Caribbean. the villain in two of the previous Fantastic Beasts films, but Johnny Depp was actually fired from the third installment of the Dumbledore's Secrets franchise and replaced by Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen then, which happened well in November 2020, Depp revealed via social media that Warner Brothers had asked him to leave the franchise after filming just one scene, the reason being that his legal battle with his ex-wife, Amber Hear, had gone viral and he had just lost his defamation case against the Sun after the publication called him a battered wife.

Overall, 2020 was a terrible year for Depp as audiences really started to turn against him and the studio felt it would greatly affect their sales to keep him in the film, so the role of Gelet Grindelwald was henceforth played by the star of Casino Royal, Mikkelsen, the funny one. The thing is, Depp still walked away with his $16 million salary thanks to a pay-or-play contract, so Warner Brothers had to foot the bill either way and the studio's decision to cut him from the movie wasn't even worth it. worth considering the third. The film ended up performing even worse at the box office than Stuart Townsend's first two number threes in 2000.

The Irish actor was a rising star with a kind of excitement that comes from having raw talent and a relationship with Charlize Theron. , so it made sense. Stuart Townsend would land a prominent role in one of the most acclaimed and successful film trilogies of all time. The Lord of the Rings at 27 years old. Townsend landed the role of Aragorn, the future king of Gondor, and went through months of rigorous training only to be fired. One day before filming began, it was director Peter Jackson who quickly decided that the actor was too young to play the character and Townsend was replaced by Viggo Mortensen, who is 14 years older than now, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy It was always a monumental task and a big gamble for Jackson, so with all the moving parts to consider, the decision obviously paid off in the end, as the film might not have been as successful if one of the key roles hadn't been replaced, but of course it would have been a huge setback for Townsend considering how much he put into what would have been the role of a lifetime for him, especially considering he hasn't been able to land such a big role in a franchise since number two director James Rima , James.

Cameron's film Aliens originally cast James Riemar as Hicks, but the sequel replaced the troubled star, all due to his initial behavior when Aliens began production. James was cast in the role of Corporal Hicks and had a darker interpretation of the role, however, several unfortunate incidents resulted in the actor eventually being replaced by Michael Bain after about a month of filming, the reason being that, according to reports, James was very difficult on set, including one time when he allegedly brought live ammunition to the set and punched a hole in a neighboring set that was for the small store. of horrors, but the decision to eliminate James was final after he was arrested for possession, unfortunately for the filmmakers, some of his scenes had already been filmed, resulting in reshoots and clever editing to insert Michael as a replacement for the role, but this was all kept a secret for years from fans and the alien crew, as all they knew was that James simply left one day without explanation with Michael standing in his place and arriving at the number one.

Eric Stoltz From the beginning the filmmakers behind Back to the Future wanted to cast Michael J. Fox in the lead role of Marty Mcfly, the only problem was that Michael was busy filming his hit TV show Family Ties, which was a huge scheduling conflict, so they chose Eric Stoltz. It would have been a life changer. role for the young man, but according to Indy Wire, director Robert Zemeckis and producer Stephen Spielberg realized weeks into production that Eric wasn't laughing much in the first cuts of the film, so in a series of really awkward maneuvers he They came up with a plan to fire him and bring in his original choice to save the movie, but according to the 2015 book we don't need Rhodes, the making of the Back to the Future trilogy explains that Eric also had quite demanding initial behavior and supposedly required all. on set to refer to him as Marty, in fact, the book alleges that at the time he was fired, some members of the cast and crew seemed relieved.

Whatever the case, returning to play Eric ultimately turned out to be a very good business decision considering the movie continued. raise more than 200 million dollars, well, that's all for today. Thank you all so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
