Christopher Plummer says he doesn't feel like he's replacing Kevin Spacey in the upcoming Ridley Scott film "All the Money in the World" because he was up for the part when the movie was being cast.

Spacey got the role as billionaire J. Paul Getty, but after a series of sexual misconduct allegations surfaced, beginning with actor Anthony Rapp's claim that Spacey tried to seduce him at age 14, the "House of Cards" star was ousted.
Spacey's scenes were already shot, and with Oscar buzz already surrounding the film, it had to keep its Dec. 22 release date to remain in contention.
"Actually just to learn my lines, because it has to be done very quickly before they release the picture," he said.
But Plummer doesn't feel that he's filling in for Spacey.
