Has any actor been edited out from a film after its release due to poor performance?

 In some cases, an actor may be edited out or replaced in a film after its release, but this is relatively uncommon. The decision to edit or replace an actor after a film has been released is usually prompted by extraordinary circumstances, such as legal issues, scandals, or controversies involving the actor. Here are a couple of examples:

1. **Kevin Spacey in "All the Money in the World" (2017):** Kevin Spacey originally played the role of J. Paul Getty in this film directed by Ridley Scott. However, following sexual misconduct allegations against Spacey, the decision was made to replace him with Christopher Plummer. Reshoots were conducted, and the edited version with Plummer was released.

2. **Johnny Depp in "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" (upcoming, as of my last update in January 2022):** Johnny Depp was initially cast as Gellert Grindelwald in the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. After losing a libel case against a British newspaper, which referred to him as a "wife-beater," Depp resigned from the role, and Mads Mikkelsen was cast as his replacement.

It's important to note that these instances are rare, and most films are not edited to replace actors after their release. In the majority of cases, filmmakers carefully consider casting decisions before production begins to avoid complications during and after filming.
