10 Actors Who Just Quit HUGE Movies
1. Ayo Edebiri - Thunderbolts
Because one disappointing Thunderbolts recast just wasn't enough, almost exactly a year after The Bear's recent Emmy winner Ayo Edebiri was cast in an unspecified role, she's had to drop out for scheduling reasons.
Reports indicate that this is once again due to the knock-on effect of last year's strike action, most likely causing shooting to interfere with Edebiri filming the third season of The Bear, which like Thunderbolts is set to begin principal photography this coming spring.
With Ediribi's departure, though, a replacement was immediately announced - Geraldine Viswanathan, who has been a rising talent ever since her breakout role in 2018's hit comedy Blockers.
Again, while Viswanathan isn't nearly as high-profile a casting pick as Edebiri, she's nothing if not a firm substitute. Still, a single MCU movie having to deal with two major recasts within mere weeks of each other is certainly less than ideal.
As for who Edebiri was set to play? Rumours have consistently pointed to her playing Songbird, though as ever we'll have to wait and see.
