Overview
- The Hollywood Reporter published new allegations that Tom Hardy refused for hours to leave his trailer and delayed a MobLand shoot, prompting producers to reconsider his place on the show.
- Variety and Deadline published earlier reports saying Hardy had been fired, but The Hollywood Reporter said no final firing decision had been made, leaving trade accounts in conflict.
- The second season has already been filmed and will include Hardy, so his presence will not change in upcoming releases tied to that season.
- If the series is renewed, producers have discussed a possible September 2026 start for season three and the current dispute could force casting or scheduling changes before production begins.
- Hardy’s alleged conduct is being viewed in the context of prior on-set clashes reported by directors and colleagues, raising reputational risks for the actor and practical staffing challenges for the show’s cast and crew.
