Ana de Armas was supposed to be in the film “Yesterday,” but her character was cut entirely. Fans decided to sue the production company because of it.

I'm an Associate Editor on BuzzFeed's Pop Culture team who spends my days fangirling over all my favorite TV shows and movies.

Director Joseph Kosinski explained that Manny did have lines and an arc, but it just didn't make it into the movie. "When we shot the film, everybody had lines, everybody had scenes, so it was all there in the script and in shooting it," he said. "And there are great scenes that are on the cutting-room floor. ... It has nothing to do with their performance or their abilities at all; it only has to do with the story of the film and trying to make the best version."

Ana's character was meant to cause a love triangle between Himesh Patel and Lily James's characters. 

However, Katherine was in good spirits about it and said, "At the end of the day, I’d rather have had the experience of being in a really good film than be in a film for the sake of being in it if it doesn’t work. You don’t want to be in something and then be the sore thumb that sticks out. And I didn’t feel that way at all, and the Russo brothers didn’t feel that way at all."

Director Ang Lee said, "I misjudged the situation. I underestimated the power of stars. I love Tobey. But it's a small part. So, when it's a movie star sitting there, it captures attention. It didn't really work out." Tobey was then replaced with Rafe Spall.

"They wrote up a whole arc for this relationship, and we played it out; I had a great time," he said. "We shot the whole relationship, and then it was determined later on that it was really unnecessary in the storyline, which is what I said to begin with. But I did cash the check!"

"What we put in the movie was great — they actually dance together — and it was so awesome, and Harry’s so charming and so lovable," said Chu. "But the problem was, it made Astrid feel like she was leaving Michael for Charlie, and we didn’t have enough room to expand on the idea. We just had to stay focused. Ultimately, it’s about her independence, so that scene was in there all the way until the very end. When we took it out, Astrid’s journey became stronger. It was about her, not about her finding love.

And if the movie ends up getting the sequel it's supposed to, Harry's character will most likely become a bigger focus. 

Her scene does, however, appear on a DVD release called Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, and she ended up appearing in the sequel. 

"It was so intense, in fact, that we ended up cutting characters from the book, like the mother," director Oliver Stone explained. "She was a good character — Uma Thurman played her beautifully — and the scenes were good, but you don’t have time, you know? We have one goal in the movie, and you go out that gate, and it's like a horse race."
