I read that Brian De Palma wanted Robert De Niro to play Al Capone in The Untouchables. Since he wasn't available at that time, Bob Hoskins was hired. When De Niro's schedule opened unexpectedly, De Palma offered the role to De Niro and paid Hoskins full salary for his inconvenience.

I don't remember who the actress was, but in the Almost Famous commentary, Cameron Crowe talks about how one of the "band aids" was supposed to have a bigger role but due to problems with her (not even showing up, I think) her scenes were given to one of the other "band aid" actresses.

Eli Sunday was supposed to be played by a separate actor (Kel O'Neill) in There Will Be Blood.

Mel Gibson was slated to have a cameo in The Hangover 2 (as the tattoo artist) but was supposedly fired since certain talent didn't want to work with him.

And maybe not "fired" per se, but there's a pretty infamous story of Adrien Brody being cast as the star of Terence Malick's The Thin Red Line only to discover at the premiere that he was almost completely cut out of the movie.
