10 Actors Who Won't Be Coming Back For Upcoming Film Sequels

7. Crispin Glover - Alice Through The Looking Glass

As if to remind movie-goers of that time when Crispin Clover failed to turn up in Back to the Future Part II because the studio refused to pay him an excessive amount of money, the actor - who played the Knave of Hearts in 2010's live-action remake of Alice of Wonderland, lover of Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen - isn't set to appear in the sequel film. Whilst pretty much everyone from the original film are set to reprise their roles in James Bobin's Alice Through the Looking Glass, Glover's character appears to be one of the very few who has been cut from the proceedings. This might have been a result of the actor demanding too much money, which - as previously mentioned - he has been known to do, but in all likelihood his character (who was exiled at the end of the first film with the Red Queen) probably had no place in the story. He admitted to be wanting to be involved in the sequel during an interview once, so it's a shame.
