Why Ana de Armas Was Cut From Yesterday (Despite Appearing In The Trailer)

Ana de Armas doesn’t appear in the Beatles-based romantic comedy Yesterday, but she can be seen in the trailers, so why was her role cut from the movie? Himesh Patel stars as Jack, a struggling musician who wakes up one morning and finds that he’s the only person on Earth who remembers the Beatles. So, he plagiarizes their discography and becomes a huge star. The cast of Yesterday includes such A-listers as Lily James as Jack’s love interest Ellie, Kate McKinnon as his manager, and an uncredited Robert Carlyle as a 78-year-old John Lennon – but it almost had even more star power.
