Tom Hardy <\/a>has reportedly been axed from the Paramount+ crime series Mobland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Produced by Guy Ritchie<\/a> and written by Butterworth and Top Boy<\/a> screenwriter Ronan Bennett, Mobland boasted an all-star cast including Hardy<\/a>, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren, and quickly became the second most watched program on Paramount+, trailing behind only Taylor Sheridan\u2019s Landman.<\/p>\n

However, Puck News<\/a> was the first to report Friday that Hardy had not been asked back for season three following clashes with producers<\/a> Jez Butterworth and David Glasser, among others. The news was later confirmed by Variety.<\/p>\n

The Independent has reached out to Paramount+ and Hardy\u2019s representative for comment.<\/p>\n

Puck reported that Hardy was regularly late to set and \u201cconstantly asked to give notes on scripts,\u201d while reportedly being displeased with the increased focus on his co-stars.<\/p>\n

Mobland has already wrapped season two<\/a>, which is set to premiere in the coming months. While a third season hasn\u2019t officially been confirmed, it\u2019s almost certainly a guarantee amid the show\u2019s massive success.<\/p>\n

When Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global CEO and president of MTV Entertainment, confirmed the commission of Mobland\u2019s second season, he noted the show\u2019s huge streaming success and the performances from the cast, including Hardy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMobLand has become a resounding triumph \u2013 driven by the creative brilliance of Guy, Jez, Ronan and David Glasser, and brought to life by the powerhouse performances of Tom, Pierce, and Helen,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n

This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Hardy has clashed with others on set<\/a>. He and Charlize Theron <\/a>infamously feuded on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two actors starred in the 2015 post-apocalyptic drama together and were known to have not gotten on<\/a>, with Theron admitting that the pair \u201cf***in\u2019 went at it\u201d during filming.<\/p>\n

Speaking in 2020 to The New York Times<\/a>, Hardy addressed his tense relationship with Theron, saying: \u201cI think in hindsight, I was in over my head in many ways. The pressure on both of us was overwhelming at times.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cWhat she needed was a better, perhaps more experienced, partner in me. That\u2019s something that can\u2019t be faked. I\u2019d like to think that now that I\u2019m older and uglier, I could rise to that occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

With time, Theron has also learnt to understand what her former co-star was going through, admitting: \u201cIn retrospect, I didn\u2019t have enough empathy to really, truly understand what he must have felt like to step into Mel Gibson\u2019s shoes. That is frightening!<\/p>\n

\u201cI think because of my own fear, we were putting up walls to protect ourselves instead of saying to each other, \u2018This is scary for you, and it\u2019s scary for me, too. Let\u2019s be nice to each other.\u2019 In a weird way, we were functioning like our characters: Everything was about survival.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":599308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-599307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=599307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/599307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/599308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=599307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=599307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=599307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
