* DeletedRole: An amusing example in that it happens InUniverse due to [[RealLifeWritesThePlot real life circumstances]], and it's actually an ''added'' character. As noted below, Creator/BillMurray was unable to take part in the movie and was replaced by Creator/SteveCarell. To compensate for this, as soon as production wrapped on the movie, Wes Anderson created a character for Bill to play in a promotional video (seen [[https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-missing-bill-murray-part-from-asteroid-city here]]), the InUniverse actor Tab Whitney, who was supposed to play armaments and aeronautics industry mogul named Jock Larkings.

** Creator/RupertFriend puts on an impressive Southern drawl when playing Montana, the singing cowboy. This is an amusing example because it's also the case in-universe: as Friend uses his natural British accent in the acting class scenes.

** The Australian Creator/MargotRobbie uses an American accent while playing the actor who was supposed to be Augie's wife.

I Knew It is now YMMV. Also, this is Steve Carrell's first appearance in a Wes Anderson film, at least to my knowledge.

* TheOtherMarty: Bill Murray was first tapped to play the motel manager, but he caught COVID-19 during filming and thus was unavailable. Another Wes Anderson regular, Steve Carell, played the role instead, while Anderson had Murray play a new role in a promotional clip.

if it says he was replaced by Steve Carell then he was going to play the motel manager. Not Augie. Please do not change it.
