Without Costner you don't get Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and without Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves you don't get Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
I think his role in Death Becomes Her could be played by any number of other, better comic actors.
Some of the roles people are naming are almost indivisible from the actor, and some could get along fine without them.
It's an ill-defined game that doesn't say whether deleting the chosen actor deletes their entire filmography as well, or if they would be replaced by someone else. I choose to interpret it as losing the movies that they were in, so whether or not any particular performance was iconic in some way doesn't matter.

I'd also say Willis brought a specific energy to Death Becomes Her. His character specifically playing against his tough guy image and being a weak willed broken guy bossed around by women was mega against his type at the time.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Dropping Willis means we also drop Moonlighting and possibly the absurd concept that putting the "will they, won't they" couple together automatically kills your show.
I never liked that scene. It didn't make sense. I get that the movie was a fictionalized version of Ness, but it didn't fit his character in real life or in the movie, why have someone who's been Mr. Law and Order the whole time just decide to cold-bloodedly murder a Capone underling out of nothing but revenge. Also the real Frank Nitti was convicted of tax evasion at the same time as Capone, and didn't die until 1943, and it was by his own hand.

I think it matters to consider how iconic THEY made the role.
Like, Mad Max is iconic... but not because it was MEL GIBSON playing Max.
Conversely, the Terminator portrayed by anyone other than Arnold would be an entirely different experience.

Like OJ?
Except who could ever believe the Juice was a cold blooded murder machine?
Arbor is a very bad actor but an incredible screen presence in the right role. I can’t imagine Terminator, T2 or Conan without him.
I think Arnold gets a little bit of flack for his wooden voice delivery. His facial expressions are just fine to top notch and its one of the reasons you can get over every character sounding the same.

Without Wills you don't get Die Hard and without Die Hard you don't get Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber.

Costner, easily. This means Goodfellas rightfully wins best picture. Ahnald can't go because you would also lose tangential things like Hans and Franz.
Costner is weird in that he has been in a lot of good movies but he himself isn't the reason they are so good. Like Hidden Figures is a good movie with some great performances, but Costners performance isn't one of them. Even the Untouchables its the Supporting cast that make the movie; Connery, De Niro and De Palma's cinematography is the reason you watch.
He does have that everyman decency going for him, which is why he would actually make a go Pa Kent if they ever let him play the character as intended. MoS and BvS stupid version is not on him.
Edit ouch. why did I go with Scorsese? Man I am slipping.

According to the two reviews I've read Tenet is either a tedious bore or a brilliant and stunning piece of work.
So it's a Nolan film

TBF a lot of people said Bladerunner 2049 was boring and those people were all horribly wrong, so I'll probably enjoy getting high huffing my own farts while watching some opaque, dense sci fi.
Jia Zhang-ke. It feels inevitable and there's no way it isn't good. Apparently he's rewriting the film he had to cancel shooting earlier this year, so it might already be on the way.

Agreed. Thirteen Days is one of my favorite movies, and I non-ironically enjoy JFK and Dances With Wolves, and I think just about any other lead actor might have made those films better. (Not sure about Prince of Thieves -- maybe Rickman's scenery chewing wouldn't be as satisfying if there were a competent lead in Costner's place.)
Oh Sandler's would for sure include Rob Schneider as a weird neighbor who is played for laughs because he basically follows CDC guidelines with like 5% absurdity sprinkled in.

Given that the best Mad Max film is the one which Gibson wasn't even in...
Is it 47 hours long like Interstellar?
It's apparently a tiny sprint of just two and a half hours.

6th Sense could've been done by any number of actors, same with Pulp Fiction.
Willis it is.

Also a bunch of ok but forgettable or quotable movies like Eraser, 6th Day, End of Days, Kindergarten Cop, Junior, Twins, Batman vs Robin, etc.
He has made a lot of movies lanpshading himself as an action hero, maybe more than he has actually played straight.
Not to mention he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
