10+ Artists who were replaced in outstanding roles in Brazilian cinema

As the schedule of artists is very busy, it is possible that they have to give up some important role in their career because they do not have time to participate in the recordings. In addition to scheduling conflicts, there are also actors who accept a certain job, but end up changing their minds because they don’t feel so confident in certain roles. One way or another, the truth is that some films need to change casts at the last minute – and the production needs to “turn around” to find replacements.

O incredible.club gathered a list of 11 actors who could have been part of great films in Brazilian cinema, but ended up being replaced by other stars. Check out!

Have you ever watched the comedy “The Perfect Man”? The main role, played by Luana Piovani, was to have gone to Deborah Secco. However, the actress gave up the recordings to enjoy more moments with her daughter Maria Flor.

Do you remember any movie that had to change actors in the sequel? This has already happened in Brazilian cinema. Danielle Winits played the character Jane in “Até que a Sorte nos Separe”, but as she couldn’t participate in the sequel, she ended up being replaced by Camila Morgado.

The Brazilians almost didn’t see the singer Fábio Jr. playing a villain in theaters. Is that, initially, the character Gorgon of “Xuxa e os Duendes” was thought for him. However, the role ended up being transferred to actor Guilherme Karam.

Cláudia Jimenez was invited by Miguel Falabella to revive the character Edileuza in “Sai de Baixo: O Filme”. She came to accept, but withdrew from the project after reading the script. Remembering that the actress participated in the first season of the Rede Globo program, in 1996, and abandoned the project after falling out with the scriptwriters.

In conversation with columnist Patrícia Kogut, Claudia explained why she didn’t accept the invitation to participate in the 2019 feature. “I was naive at the time. Now, I thought I had turned the page, but, no, I’m not over it,” she stated. The withdrawal caused actress Cacau Protásio to take her place.

In the continuation of the film “Tropa de Elite”, the deputy played by Irandhir Santos was to have been João Miguel. At the time, the “Estômago” actor told Mônica Bergamo’s column why he had abandoned the project: “I wouldn’t say there was an incompatibility, but I work a lot with my intuition and I saw that it wasn’t there”.

The 2006 film “Se Eu Fosse Você” was a milestone in Brazilian comedy. Now, did you know that who should have played Helena was Cláudia Abreu? Producer Iafa Britz said the actress dropped out of the role three days before filming began, saying she was uncomfortable with the role. Have you ever thought about the rush to find a new cast member? So glad Glória Pires saved this hilarious role!

We already mentioned that the character Helena would be played by Cláudia Abreu, but who should have played the role of Cláudio? In the initial project of the film “Se Eu Fosse Você”, the protagonist would be Márcio Garcia and not Tony Ramos. In other words, there was a real exchange of casts, but the important thing is that everything worked out in the end. The comedy was a success and the continuation of the feature reached a box office record.

Actor Vladimir Brichta shone as the protagonist of the movie “Bingo: O Rei das Manhãs”. But the role of the clown Bingo was actually played by the artist Wagner Moura.

“The film was basically written for Wagner. It was a partnership that we had and, for several reasons, such as the time it took for production to be ready and due to scheduling conflicts, he could not do it. After that, he himself suggested Vladimir’s name for the role”, explained director Daniel Rezende.

Did you know that actor Bruno Garcia played Leléu, from “Lisbela e o Prisioneiro”, in theaters? When the plot became a movie, the role passed to actor Selton Mello. However, Bruno was also part of the feature film as the very funny Douglas, who was Lisbela’s fiancé and pretended to be from Rio.

One of the outstanding moments in Deborah Secco’s career was playing Bruna Surfistinha in theaters. But who should have played the role was the actress Karen Junqueira. At the time, the artist was working on the soap opera “Poder Paralelo”, on RecordTV, and was unable to reconcile the recording schedule.

Can you imagine what it would be like to see the actors Márcio Garcia and Cláudia Abreu in “Se Eu Fosse Você”? and Fabio Jr. as a villain in “Xuxa e os Duendes”? If it were possible, which Brazilian movie would you like to have changed the cast? Tell us the names of your replacements in the comments.
