When actors question the script.

When actors question the script.

Sometimes actors are heavily involved with the writing process for their character, in and up to everything from dialogue to scenes. What are some examples of actors in post-release interviews/footage that questioned the directors/Writers sanity in a scene they disliked. Did they attack/criticize the scene/dialogue after the film was released, or was their disagreement over the dialogue caught and filmed?

Harrison Ford with Blade Runner and Return of the Jedi are the two most famous examples I can think of ATM.

Didn't Reynolds heavily questioned Barakapool and only really did it so that they would consider green lighting his solo movie of Deadpool?

That seems to be the case, yes.

From the above link, TvTropes' trivia entry entitled "Creative Differences":

"Al Pacino's voice work was left out of Despicable Me 2 due to this, despite him playing the lead villain, the role already completely finished and animated, and the film only a month from release, too late to remove Pacino's name from all the trailers. The producers granted Pacino's request to be removed from the project after both sides were not on the same page regarding his performance; Benjamin Bratt was brought in to re-dub the role in time to finish the film."

Had no clue.

Eddie Murphy's version of Dr. Dolittle was supposed to be serious but test audiences found it bland & boring.

Studio execs then decided to make all the animals talk, adding the comic relief that Murphy couldn't do alone.
