  "account": "Tom Hardy and his co-stars from the Paramount+ series \"MobLand\" are dismissing reports of behind-the-scenes drama, insisting there were no firings or arguments. Hardy, set to return for Season 3, told AP News Entertainment, \"There was no firing, there was no walking away and there was no arguments in that aspect. I just kept my head down and waited, carried on talking to the grown-ups, which is what we just do.\" The show was renewed for Season 2 ahead of its premiere, with Hardy rejoining the cast alongside Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Despite initial reports suggesting tensions with showrunner Jez Butterworth and studio 101, Hardy and Mirren affirmed their friendship, stating, \"You just have to let people do their thing. We're professionals, we get on with it. We love the show.\" Brosnan echoed these sentiments, calling Hardy a \"spellbinding, sharp as a knife, lethal\" talent, while dismissing the drama as \"a bit of a storm in a teacup.\"",
  "summary": "\"It was a bit of a storm in a teacup,\" Pierce Brosnan says, while Helen Mirren adds, \"We're professionals, we get on with it\" The post Tom Hardy and His Co-Stars Downplay ‘MobLand’ Drama: ‘There Was No Firing’ appeared first on TheWrap .",
