Phoebe Waller-Bridge is departing the new Amazon project, Mr + Mrs Smith, due to creative differences with Donald Glover, fellow star and executive producer. The split is said to be amicable and the role will be recast.
Multiple sources confirmed to Variety that Waller-Bridge, best known for her indie TV hit “Fleabag,” has left the project due to creative differences with fellow star and executive producer Donald Glover. According to those close to the project, Waller-Bridge’s departure is amicable and her role will be re-cast. The duo first worked together on “Solo: A Star Wars Story.”
Waller-Bridge is currently working on “Indiana Jones 5,” in which she stars, and the final season of “Killing Eve,” which she is executive producing. She is also credited as a writer on the latest Bond flick, “No Time to Die.”
Real shame, this has the potential to be great.
