Tom Hardy was not terminated from “MobLand” — despite reports claiming he was let go due to “on-set issues.”
“Tom was not fired, the door is not closed for Season 3 and things are being worked through creatively,” a source close to production told Variety Thursday.
The outlet reported that Guy Ritchie, who executive-produced and directed several episodes in both seasons of the Paramount+ series, is possibly “pushing” for David Glasser — whose 101 Studios produces the show — “to make it work.”
“Guy likes working with Tom,” the insider claimed.
Page Six has reached out to Hardy, Paramount+ and 101 Studios for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Last week, reports surfaced that the “Venom” star, 48, had been fired from his role as Harry Da Souza.
Sources claimed Hardy was allegedly consistently late to production during the second season. They also claimed he gave frequent script notes, changed dialogue and was upset about the ensemble cast, which includes Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan.
A source told the Daily Mail that Hardy’s tardy behavior “enraged” the “Queen” actress, 80, and that she was “getting increasingly frustrated with Tom and his attitude.”
A separate source told the Hollywood Reporter that the “Peaky Blinders” alum allegedly “refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time.”

Hardy — who avoided the red carpet — rocked a brown patterned short-sleeve button-down with white pants and sneakers.
