However, the British actor has now had to walk away from the project due to scheduling conflicts.Hardy's current project The Revenant is believed to be filming for longer, which has caused some issue.

As for Hardy, we have not seen him on the big screen since The Drop but he is currently working on The Revenant, which is the latest film from director Alejandro González Iñárritu.
This movie will be the first time that Hardy has teamed up with the filmmaker as they bring the novel by Michael Punke to the big screen. Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Poulter, Domhnall Gleeson, and Paul Anderson are also on board.
