Why Clemenza Didn't Return For The Godfather Part II

Clemenza was written out of Godfather Part II due to actor disagreements. The film gave closure to Clemenza's character and mentioned his off-screen death. Coppola found a way to fill in Clemenza's absence with new character Frank Pentangeli.
The Godfather Part II continued the story of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) after becoming the new Don of the Corleone family, and while most of the cast from the first movie returned, the character Peter Clemenza was notably absent. In 1972, Francis Ford Coppola brought whats now considered one of the greatest films of all time and the best in the gangster genre: The Godfather. Based on Mario Puzos 1969 novel of the same name, and with a screenplay co-written by Puzo and Coppola, The Godfather was a massive critical and commercial success, and made way for a trilogy.
