Donald Glover Spills On Phoebe Waller-Bridge Fallout Over 'Mr. And Mrs. Smith' Script
HuffPost
Glover and Waller-Bridge were originally cast in the respective roles that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie played, only for Waller-Bridge to suddenly exit in 2021.
For Donald Glover, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s exit from “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” felt like “a divorce.”
The talented writers originally joined hands on rebooting the 2005 action-comedy movie into an Amazon series but ultimately split due to creative differences. While Waller-Bridge has been charmingly diplomatic in her reasons, Glover is being a little more candid about the break.
“It’s a divorce in a weird way,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Wednesday. “You’re like, ‘Oh shit, this should have worked.’ And this is just me, being honest, but I think a good relationship is one where you don’t waver from the extremely uncomfortable.”
“And I don’t know if we were ever going to get to a place where we could be completely brutal to each other,” Glover continued, adding, “It might’ve just been cultural. You’ve got to think, ‘Fleabag’ was written entirely by her, they don’t really do writers rooms in the U.K.”
The acclaim for her series saw Waller-Bridge hired for rewrites on the latest “James Bond” film, starring roles in the “Indiana Jones” franchise and a part opposite Glover in 2018’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” After working together on “Solo,” Glover approached Waller-Bridge to star in and help write the “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” reboot.
