Did Rick Genest have a larger role in 47 Ronin?
We see Rick Genest very briefly in 47 Ronin. For basically a single scene I believe.
The movie poster lead me to beleive his was going to be a major part of the movie... Was there an entire plot line cut or deleted maybe?
(he's the guy with skull tattoo on his face)

According to Wikipedia:
due to various post-process tensions, stemming from the 2011 version of the film in which Universal executives wanted Reeves to become a more integral part of the film, Genest was largely edited out of the final version.
However, when I followed their link to Variety I was unable to find any mention of Genest.
