Megan Fox was fired from Transformers: Dark of the Moon for publically comparing Michael Bay to Hitler, at the command of none other than Steven Spielberg himself. The scenes she'd already shot were scrapped and her character Mikaela Banes was replaced with Rosie Huntington-Whitley (sp?), who played a character loosely based on the character Carly from the 1980s cartoon.
So what if they'd simply hired a new actress to play the same character?
I would imagine the reviews of the film would be more positive, since there were a lot of criticism of Rosie's acting ability (or lack thereof). Unless the new actress is truly awful, I can't imagine the film doing significantly worse and it might do better.
I suppose if Bay/Spielberg picked another relative unknown as an actress who actually had talent, she might go on to bigger and better things afterward. Heck, if we wanted, we could suggest possible actresses and speculate as to how they might portray the character and what they might do afterward if they co-starred in a wildly successful film.
