\n\t[This story contains major spoilers from episode three of MobLand,<\/em> \u201cPlan B.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tTom Hardy has added another criminal role to his acting r\u00e9sum\u00e9. And this time, with MobLand<\/em>, he\u2019s unsure how his character can escape his plight. \u201cHarry\u2019s somewhat trapp<\/a>ed inside being Harry,\u201d he says of his starring fixer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar-nominated actor reunited with his RocknRolla<\/em> director Guy Ritchie, who directed the first two episodes of Paramount\u2018s crime series<\/a>. The premiere has become the biggest launch week for a Paramount+ new series (growing to 8.8 million global viewers, per the streamer), joining Taylor Sheridan\u2019s hit series 1923<\/em> and Landman<\/em> as record-holders for new releases.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first two episodes of MobLand<\/em> saw Hardy\u2019s longtime fixer cleaning up after the powerful Harrigan family, quite literally as he cleaned up the body of Archie (Alex Jennings) after he was shot and killed by his friend, patriarch Conrad Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan), because he was suspected of betraying the family.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut by episode three, the stakes have increased for Harry\u2019s role with the Harrigan family when Conrad\u2019s gangland rival Richie Stevenson (Geoff Bell) blows up his home \u2014 and that\u2019s before it\u2019s revealed to Richie that his son, Tommy, hasn\u2019t just disappeared, but has been murdered. With the culprit being Eddie Harrigan (Anson Boon), a bloody beat down ensues for his accomplice, the club manager. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with the police finding Archie\u2019s body, leaving viewers questioning who\u2019s really loyal to the Harrigans.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Hardy is just beginning what looks to be a long journey for MobLand, <\/em>his time playing the beloved Marvel villain Venom ended with its trilogy last October. Regarding those reports<\/a> that there was almost a crossover between Hardy\u2019s Venom and Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man before it fell apart, Hardy confirms to The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> in the conversation below that he\u2019s been \u201cmisquoted\u201d and it wasn\u2019t \u201ckilled,\u201d it just \u201cdidn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso in the conversation below, Hardy discusses if Harry can ever be free of the Harrigan clan as MobLand<\/em> finds its footing, why he chose to keep Harry\u2019s background ambiguous, his hope to do more seasons \u2014 and if he\u2019s up for ditching the bad guy roles to take on something more upbeat in the future. (Remember This Means War<\/em>?)<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been 17 years since you and Guy Ritchie last worked together on a project. How did you two reconnect to work on this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI didn\u2019t realize it was 17 years. That\u2019s quite a long time, isn\u2019t it? Well, I just called him on the phone and it didn\u2019t feel like that much time had passed and he was already interwoven into the project. So we had a catch up and pretty shortly afterwards, we were on set working. So it was pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n

\n\tYour character is very complex, and we do see some of Harry\u2019s background. How would you describe Harry and why he\u2019s a fixer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDo you know what, I\u2019m not really quite sure about Harry\u2019s background. I haven\u2019t designed anything in my head as a backstory for him specifically because I like him to exist in the here and now. I don\u2019t really want to be anchored by a preexisting backstory that may prove to be not as useful if I\u2019m tied to it. Although there are elements where we flash back to Kevin and Harry in prison when they were kids. I think that\u2019s just enough to know that that\u2019s how Kevin and Harry were connected. And whose optics that memory is from, whose head is that vision in is also interesting.<\/p>\n

\n\tSome people have a natural ability to be able to be in some form of hospitality and cater to other people\u2019s needs and service them in a way that they can find ways through situations by not being necessarily attached to them with any emotion or have a wealth of contacts or capabilities that extend beyond an individual\u2019s personal reach. In that aspect, I think Harry has the capacity and range to deliver options to somebody who has concerns about how they may move forward in their life. But he could easily have been working for the Dorchester as a concierge, or he could be an espionage. He could use these skills in other professional fields. It just happens that I suppose by circumstances he ended up in the world of organized crime.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ve said in the show: \u201cIf you help the Harrigans, the Harrigans will help you.\u201d How are they helping Harry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t think he means that. I think what he\u2019s trying to say is that, if you give me the information I need, we won\u2019t kill you. It\u2019s just wrapped it up in a little bit of a bow. (Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n\tDid Eddie really kill Tommy all by himself or did he get help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHe killed him. He did have help dismembering the body by some poor innocent club owner who is also guilty of inciting a gang war between the Stevensons and the Harrigans from doing that. We\u2019re not quite sure why they did that.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe scene with Harry and Bella is really interesting where she gets him to imagine a world where he\u2019s not involved with the Harrigans. Do you think Harry would leave his world behind and escape or is it too deep into it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWith Bella Harrigan or just on his own?<\/p>\n

\n\tOn his own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t think he can escape. He\u2019s got too much invested in it, I suppose in a forensic level, both mentally, physically, and some aspects, there\u2019s a sort of spiritual death that probably comes with some of the stuff that he\u2019s done that he probably can\u2019t go to therapy and confess to any of it either. So, I think Harry\u2019s somewhat trapped inside being Harry.<\/p>\n

\n\tEpisode three ends on a cliffhanger with the police finding Archie\u2019s body. How is Harry going to get them out of this mess?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know. We have to figure out how they found Archie\u2019s body because that wasn\u2019t easy to find. Someone would have to know where that was and that would have to have come from within our own family.<\/p>\n

\n\tAssuming Harry and the Harrigans escape Richie in the next episode, what do you envision for the future of MobLand<\/em>? What is the longterm plan for this show? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThe plan is definitely to see more seasons. The question is: Does it become international? There are international elements to organized crime, which are touched on in season one and the control of drugs and ammunition and weapons and people and all kinds of things that go through Europe and from Africa through to South America, Pakistan and the variable commodities that move around Europe. There are families that are involved in each European country that are vying for power to have that status to be able to move these kind of commodities through and who polices that and how that fits into a world stage.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ve played so many interesting characters, but a lot of them seem really heavy. Do you think we could see you in something more lighthearted in the future? Maybe a rom-com? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tNo (Laughs<\/em>) <\/em>I don\u2019t think I suit rom-coms.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhy not? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know. I just don\u2019t think I do. But maybe if it was interesting and good fun, I\u2019d be up for it. But I haven\u2019t seen anything come across the desk yet where I\u2019d go, \u201cOh, I\u2019d love to do that.\u201d So, we\u2019ll wait, I\u2019ll wait. It\u2019s just a yet\u2026 Hasn\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou\u2019ve mentioned before that Venom and Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man almost paired up for a project, but it was then killed by studio politics. Were you driving that idea or was it Marvel Studios? <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI didn\u2019t say that, at all. That\u2019s kind of moved on from a very simple quote that I said specifically about my children watching Venom. It\u2019s hard to explain to a young child why their favorite superheroes can\u2019t be in a film together and that\u2019s such a shame. And we almost got it, but it didn\u2019t happen, which is the truth. It didn\u2019t happen. And we almost got together because I remember being in the Spider-Man <\/em>movie and you know it was connected, and it just didn\u2019t happen. The trilogy is now over and it didn\u2019t happen. So, it didn\u2019t get killed by anything, it just didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve been misquoted there. People get excited about anything Venom or anything to do with superheroes and stuff and it\u2019s sort of taken on another life. I just want to be clear that I didn\u2019t say that.<\/p>\n

\n\tWere there talks at any point?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThere are always talks, but that doesn\u2019t mean that things manifested. There\u2019s a future where these things will continue to be talked about until something is realized and I\u2019m sure it will be at some point, but it just didn\u2019t happen with me.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow there\u2019s Mad Max: The Wasteland <\/em>(laughs<\/em>). There are lots of things that are discussed, but they haven\u2019t happened yet.<\/p>\n
