Who did they want on the cover instead? Moss?

Could it be because headlining O’Dowd sells more tickets?

There's a Trope: Billing Displacement
The tendency of a film to be retroactively linked in the public mind with the biggest name in the film or be marketed as "starring" the biggest name, even if that actor is not the main character (at least from the filmmakers' point of view), and occasionally even if his or her character is very minor indeed.
eg: Back cover cast list does not match front cover image
