Kudrow was specifically chosen for her Emmy nominated work in The Comeback.
Why was Leto not able to take on this psychologically thrilling role after his recent rise to the movie induestry? Jared Leto was unavailable due to schedule concerns.

To fill the hole, Justin Theroux has been tapped to take on the role left by Chris Evans.
The psychological thriller movie based on Paula Hawkins' best selling book also includes Rebecca Ferguson, Haley Bennett, and Edgar Ramirez as cast members, as first reported by Hollywood Reporter.
Luke Evans is known for his role in the 2013 Fast & Furious 6 as the villain Owen Shaw. He also played as the very handsome Bard the Bowman in The Hobbit Trilogy.
