Mel Gibson's role in The Hangover 2 has reportedly been cut from the final script due to complaints by the film's cast and crew.
TMZ reports the actor had been rumoured to be making a cameo appearance in the film but was ultimately refused the part.
"I thought Mel would have been great in the movie… But I realise filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew," said director Todd Phillips in a statement.
'The Hangover 2' is due to open next year.
