Anya had been in some popular films and won some acclaim, but I'm wholly unsure she's really a star in the old-fashioned sense. People like Tom Cruise (of the old guard) and Sydney Sweeney (from the "new" guard) can still bring an audience to the theatre, but even that really depends on the project.
I actually would enjoy Anya in the context of Tolkien. She's done plenty of period movies (essentially my yardstick for "does this actor feel right for Middle-earth" which is ostensibly a Medieval-set movie-series) and she's part British and can do a convincing accent. Adding a pinch of star power - also via the brilliant Kate Winslet - is not a bad thing.
But I really think we're jumping to conclusions (1) assuming Arwen should or would be in this and (2) that the part that Anya was up for was indeed Arwen and she had indeed signed-up for it. Neither of these assumptions are particularly supported by...anything, really.
I think that they'd sooner write Arwen out than to recast her. Aragorn they couldn't write around, obviously. But Arwen? In a GOLLUM MOVIE? Definitely possible. I also find it hard to believe they'd cast an actress with such a unique - and not terribly Tyler-ish - physiognomy as a version of the same character that Tyler played. I mean, you look at their new Aragorn and, depending on the picture, he can look VERY Viggo-ish. Anya? I dunno.
