Ana de Armasfans are die-hard!
Per the complaint, which was filed in the United States District Court of Central California, Conor Woulfe, 38, of Maryland, and Peter Michael Rosza, 44, of San Diego County, Calif., said that they each paid $3.99 to rent the film on Amazon Prime.
But, after watching the 2019 movie, the pair discovered that de Armas, 33, was removed from the final cut and the duo felt that they “were not provided with any value for their rental or purchase,” as the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit alleges that Universal engaged in “false, deceptive, and misleading advertising” and the two are now looking to get a minimum of $5 million on behalf of affected viewers.

In the film, de Armas was intended to appear as the character Roxane, who would serve as a love interest to Patel’s Jack Malik. The pair were originally intended to meet on the set ofJames Corden’s talk show, where Jack would serenade Roxane with his own take on George Harrison’s “Something,” before de Armas' scenes were cut altogether.
“That was a very traumatic cut, because she was brilliant in it. I mean really radiant,” Curtis told the outlet of de Armas. “You know, it’s one of those things where it’s some of our favorite scenes from the film, but we had to cut them for the sake of the whole.”
A representative for de Armas, as well as a rep for Universal, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
