Robin William passed away on August 11, 2014 at age 63.
According to Columbus, Williams lost out on the role because hiring him would have broken a rule to avoid casting any American actors in an attempt to "maintain a degree of authenticity."
"I had a conversation with Robin Williams, who wanted to play Lupin," Columbus told Total Film, as quoted by GamesRadar. "It was very difficult for me to say, ‘It’s all British. There’s nothing I can do.’"
