Phoebe Waller-Bridge quits Mr & Mrs Smith

'Creative differences' lead to walkout

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has left the reboot of Mr & Mrs Smith, it has been reported.

The Fleabag creator was to star in opposite Donald Glover in the remake of the 2005 action comedy.

But Hollywood website  Deadline reports that she has left following ‘creative differences’.

Amazon Prime is making a series based on the movie, which starred Brad Pitt as a bored married couple who discover they are both assassins hired by competing agencies to kill each other.

No replacement for Waller-Bridge has yet been announced, and Amazon has not officially commented.
