Tom Hardy is set to return to MobLand, having made peace with the hit crime series’s producers after behind-the-scenes clashes derailed his future on the show. It was previously reported that Paramount had decided not to bring back Hardy, 48, for the show’s third season, after he feuded with executive producers Jez Butterworth and David Glasser while shooting the second season. But a meeting between Hardy, Butterworth, and Glasser in London reportedly helped smooth things over, and Hardy is now back on board, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sources had previously told Puck News that the Peaky Blinders star was displeased with his diminishing role in the series compared to co-stars Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan, as the London crime show was originally built around Hardy’s character Harry Da Souza, the Harrigan crime family’s “fixer” in the series, but became more of an ensemble show as it progressed. Hardy has previously faced scrutiny over on-set clashes, most notably during the filming of Mad Max: Fury Road, when the actor got caught in a screaming match with his co-star Charlize Theron over Hardy’s chronic lateness to set. Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
