Casting changes can happen at any point during pre-production - sometimes during principal photography or even post-production. Scripts are rewritten all the time, also even during filming.

Also, unlike Wikipedia, IMDB has a review process that any new entry has to go through before it is published on the site. You can't just make a change and have it suddenly appear on the site like with Wikipedia.

Is it still possible that this is an early casting list and may not be the final list? Quite possible, this early in the production schedule. But demonizing IMDB simply because the casting list doesn't make sense to us (when we don't even know the full plot yet) is a little hasty, don't you think?

And regarding the casting of Yelena: musicians with no prior acting experience are cast in movie and TV roles all the time. Examples include: Will Smith, Ice T, Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Rihanna, Mariah Carrey, Rob Van Winkle (Vanilla Ice), among others. Some turn out to be good at it. Others - not so much.
