Rumors surrounding Tom Hardy's future on MobLand have taken over social media after multiple reports claimed that the actor had been fired from the hit Paramount+ crime drama following his alleged on-set clashes. But according to a recent insider claim, Hardy hasn't officially quit the show yet, nor has he been fired.Despite widespread rumors to the contrary, Variety claims that Tom Hardy "was not fired" from MobLand. According to a production-related source who spoke with the magazine, talks over Hardy's possible return for a third season are still ongoing.The insider said:“Tom was not fired, the door is not closed for Season 3 and things are being worked through creatively.”Guy Ritchie, who executive-produced and directed a number of the show's episodes, is allegedly attempting to ease tensions behind the scenes, according to the story. The production source said:“I’m sure Guy is probably pushing David Glasser to make it work. Guy likes working with Tom.”The production-related insider's clarification comes days after multiple news outlets said that Hardy had been kicked off the show due to disagreements with crew members and producers during the shooting of MobLand's season 2What had happened at the shooting of the show?Behind-the-scenes disputes were first reported after Puck News reported that Tom Hardy had a falling out with 101 Studios head David Glasser and executive producer Jez Butterworth.According to reports, Hardy was allegedly late for shooting on multiple occasions; he even rewrote a couple of scenes and provided the script notes to Glasser and Butterworth. According to a different claim from The Hollywood Reporter, co-stars Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren were left waiting on set while Hardy refused to leave his trailer.A source revealed:“Any actor is frustrated when they’re made to wait a couple of hours.”Meanwhile, another source revealed that everything is good between Helen Mirren and Tom Hardy. The first source said:“I know she’s said to him a couple of times, ‘Come on Tom, we’ve been here for ages, let’s get on with it,’ but she’s never appeared to be anti-Tom. I’ve never heard of anything political. I think that’s probably wildly unhelpful and untrue.”The second source added:“Helen is not that sort of person. If she had a problem with Tom, she would have said to his face, ‘Look come on, let’s just stop wasting everyone else’s time and let’s get on with it.’ But that’s probably as far as it went. She’s not the sort of person who’s going to get involved in a whole political situation. She just isn’t. She certainly isn’t going to be one who stamps her feet and says ‘Well I’m not coming back if he’s in it.’ It’s just not her.”More about Tom Hardy's troubles on MobLandVariety's report, however, indicated that the conflicts were not completely one-sided. Speaking about Tom Hardy, the source said:“He’s difficult, but he’s a movie star.”Another source also mentioned that Tom Hardy was irritated because Butterworth was supposedly bringing scripts late, sometimes just a week before filming, which allegedly interfered with Hardy's preparation. The source revealed that “Tom likes to prepare.”The actor was also frustrated as Butterworth would never be present on set, as Hardy would have some suggestions on the script. The source added:“The only people [Butterworth] really speaks to is David Glasser. Very few people on the cast or crew have anything to do with Jez. We never see him.”Speaking about Tom Hardy's script ideas, the second production-related insider said:“Often his ideas are very sound. And he wants them taken seriously. Jez kind of hasn’t got the time to deal with those notes, so it becomes problematic.”The insider claimed that Butterworth's commitments to other projects, such as The Agency and Sam Mendes' upcoming Beatles movie, have made it difficult for him to be physically present on set:“I think Jez is basically spread too thin. He’s taken on too many jobs.”With Guy Ritchie being on set, Hardy's suggestions were often listened to, even if Butterworth was absent, as Guy has the authority and experience. The source added:“Having said that, he doesn’t do it very often. Jez’s stuff is pretty bloody good.”But they only faced problems when Ritchie had a rotating cast of three directors who would take up this duty in season 1, but they did not possess the authority to rewrite the scenes:“He’s used to dealing with some of the best directors in the world. So when he suddenly has a jobbing TV director, he struggles and to a certain extent he can walk all over them because they’re intimidated by him.”Talking about Tom Hardy and Ritchie's relationship, the insider stated that "he’s better behaved with Guy," as they have a history of making movies. The insider added that both trust each other, and the director can just tell the actor to “stop f*cking about”, and the actor would take it in “in good heart.”The source revealed:“I think [Hardy] probably personality-wise with struggles with the David Glasser-type of Hollywood producer dynamic. David’s a tough guy. He’s a very fair guy, but he’s a tough guy.”The source added how Hardy's requests for rewrites and his tardiness, which left Brosnan and Mirren waiting "for ages" for Tom Hardy to appear on set, effectively caused Glasser, who runs a tight ship, to lose patience:“David is not prepared to be held to ransom by an actor, even if it’s the leading actor. He has a track record for dealing with this kind of stuff.”According to rumors, Paramount+ and Guy Ritchie are still optimistic that Hardy, Butterworth, and Glasser can work out their differences despite the ongoing issue.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more information.
