It's over for Phoebe Waller-Bridge on the
Mr and Mrs Smith series
.
The screenwriter and star of
Fleabag
has indeed left the project after artistic disputes with producer Donald Glover, who was to play opposite her in the lead role.
Variety
claims, however, that the two actors, who have known each other since filming the
Star Wars Solo
spin-off
, have remained on good terms.
The project was only in its infancy, however, as it was due to go into production at Amazon next year only.
There are therefore several months to find a replacement for the British star.

Based on the eponymous film released in 2005 with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie,
Mr and Mrs Smith
were to take over the original plot, the story of a couple of assassins who are hired to kill each other.
It was Donald Glover himself who had the idea of this remake in the form of a series.
Variety
does not specify on which element of the series these “artistic disputes” arose, but it was obvious that the actor would win if there was to be a standoff, being the producer of the series.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is not, however, likely to be bored since she already has two projects in the works,
Indiana Jones 5
, as well as the final season of
Killing Eve
, of which she is the executive producer.
The star also worked on the very upcoming James Bond,
Die Can Wait
, the latest starring Daniel Craig, for which she was recruited as a screenwriter after filming began.
The film is due out on October 6.
