\n\t\u201cMarty Supreme\u201d breakout Odessa A\u2019zion took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday night to announce she is dropping out of Sean Durkin\u2019s A24 adaptation of \u201cDeep Cuts<\/a>\u201d after the online outrage surrounding her casting, which was announced Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGuys! I am with all of you and I am not doing this movie. Lemme make myself clear,\u201d A\u2019zion wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the popular 2025 Holly Brickley novel, the character of Zoe Gutierrez is of Mexican heritage and is Jewish. The character is a close friend of music critic Percy, who will be played by Cailee Spaeny, and the ex-girlfriend of Percy\u2019s love interest Joe, who will be played by Drew Starkey.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThank you guys for bringing this to my attention,\u201d D\u2019Azion continued, \u201cI\u2019m so sorry that this happened. I went in for Percy, but was offered Zoe instead and instantly said yes! I\u2019m so pissed y\u2019all, I hadn\u2019t read the book and should have paid attention to all aspects of Zoe before accepting\u2026and now that I know what I know? Fuck that. I\u2019m out!<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019d never take a role from someone else that\u2019s meant to do it. That SHOULD do it! That\u2019s not me. There are a plentitude of people more than capable of playing this role and I am not one of them. I can\u2019t wait to see who it ends up being.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAustin Butler and Saoirse Ronan were originally set to star in the music-fueled romance, but dropped out due to scheduling issues.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is produced by Eli Bush, Ronald Bronstein and Josh Safdie, with Durkin also producing along with Anthony Katagas, Jordan Tappis and A24. Brickley is an executive producer. <\/p>\n

\n\tReps for D\u2019Azion and A24 did not immediately respond to Variety\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cMarty Supreme\u201d breakout Odessa A\u2019zion took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday night to announce she is dropping…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":551122,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[241858,171,185641,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-551121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-deep-cuts","tag-entertainment","tag-odessa-azion","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115977396141782324","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551121"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551121\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
