Actor Steve Wilder (also known as Steve Wilder Striegel) was originally cast as a minor character in this movie, but 20th Century Fox removed his scenes a few days before picture lock, when actress Olivia Munn informed the studio that he was arrested, charged, and registered as a sex offender in 2010 after facing allegations that he attempted to lure a 14-year-old girl into a sexual relationship via the internet. Director Shane Black (who had already cast Striegel in small roles in Iron Man 3 (2013) and The Nice Guys (2016)) initially defended the casting as giving an old friend a second chance, but later apologized and took full responsibility for causing such controversy. He was playing a jogger who repeatedly tries to hit on Munn's character, and the scene was meant to be her character's original introduction. In the final cut of the film, she appears with little explanation for who her character is.
