Tom Hardy’s ‘Mobland’ Future in Limbo Over On-Set Behavior
Sounds like there’s a hit out on Harry Da Souza.
A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that Tom Hardy‘s future on Paramount+ series Mobland is very much in limbo following clashes with producers. Hardy has not yet been fired as other outlets have reported, the source says, but there are definitely ongoing discussions about the possibility. Part of this personal purgatory situation is due to the fact that Paramount+ has yet to pick up Mobland for a third season. The crime thriller is a strong enough performer to warrant such a greenlight, even without Hardy.

Mobland season two wrapped in March. Hardy has had run-ins with executive producer Jez Butterworth as well as individuals at David Glasser’s 101 Studios. (101 Studios is the production company behind Taylor Sheridan’s hit series.)
Hardy plays Da Souza on Mobland, the fixer for a powerful organized crime family headed up by Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
Mobland also stars Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon), Joanne Froggatt (Downtown Abbey), Lara Pulver (Da Vinci’s Demons), Anson Boon (Pistol), Mandeep Dhillon (CSI: Vegas), Jasmine Jobson (Top Boy), Geoff Bell (Top Boy), Daniel Betts (Fate: The Winx Saga), Lisa Dwan (Blackshore) and Emily Barber (Industry).
The series is produced in association with MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. Mobland is executive produced by Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, Guy Ritchie, Glasser, Butterworth, showrunner Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Hardy, Dean Baker, Anthony Byrne, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin and Bob Yari.
This is not Hardy’s first on-set clash. He and Charlize Theron pretty famously did not get along while filming Mad Max: Fury Road. Director George Miller blamed the beef on his duo being “two very different performers.”
“Tom has a damage to him but also a brilliance that comes with it, and whatever was going on with him at the time, he had to be coaxed out of his trailer,” Miller said, referring to Hardy’s reported regular tardiness to set. “Whereas Charlize was incredibly disciplined — a dancer by training, which told in the precision of her performance — and always the first one on set.”
“I’m an optimist, so I saw their behavior as mirroring their characters, where they had to learn to co-operate in order to ensure mutual survival,” Miller continued. “There’s no excuse for it, and I think there’s a tendency in this business to use great performances as an excuse for other disruption that could be avoided.”
