I doubt the star, co-writer, and director had to fight very hard to get a deaf actress into a movie where sound (or lack thereof) is one of the main plot points. The article itself never even uses the language “fought” and uses “insisted”, and also notes that the character was written as deaf in the script from the beginning.
Studios and producers, the people who pay for the movie and ultimately end up being the people who make decisions about what to do with the movie after it is made, like re-editing and distribution. There could have been a very real fight with a producer who wanted a big named star to be more recognizable than an unknown.
This is good but John Krasinski is still a talentless hack.
