Recently, we reported about the speculation on Tom Hardy being terminated from MobLand, causing uncertainty over his return for the third season of the series. Ever since the news regarding the rumour broke, fans have been expressing their disappointment over the possible absence of Hardy from MobLand's upcoming third season. However, it would now appear that Hardy was not fired from it, after all.
According to Variety, a source has told the publication that the news about the actor facing the axe from the series is not true. Reports also reveal that discussions are underway to facilitate Hardy's return to the series. "Things are being worked through creatively," the source revealed. Reports say that MobLand executive producer-director Guy Ritchie is negotiating with producer David Glasser to ensure Tom Hardy's return. Reportedly, creative differences with Glasser and creator Jez Butterworth contributed to Hardy's alleged termination from the show.
MobLand stars Hardy as a ruthless 'fixer' named Harry Da Souza who works for the crime family of the Harrigans. The actor plays an integral part in the narrative of the show. Perhaps this explains why netizens expressed their outrage after news reports suggested that Hardy might not come back for a third chapter in the series. "What MobLand with Tom Hardy," has been the common sentiment among netizens ever since the news surfaced.
Ronan Bennett and Jez Butterworth created the series, starring Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren in the roles of the the Harrigans' heads. Guy Ritchie, who also serves as an executive producer of MobLand, has directed multiple episodes in both seasons of the show. The first season dropped on Paramount+ last year and would go on to become one of the streamer's most-viewed shows. Reportedly, Hardy has wrapped his portions for the second season.
