Donald Glover Explains His Creative Falling Out With Phoebe Waller-Bridge Over 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'

The pair was set to create and star in the new 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' but Waller-Bridge ultimately left the project.

The actor and co-star Maya Erskine-- who play the titular pair of assassins who go undercover as a couple in the new Prime Video series -- recently sat down with The Hollywood Reporter, where Glover opened up about why Waller-Bridge ultimately left the project. "You’ve got to think, Fleabag was written entirely by her, they don’t really do writers' rooms in the U.K. And I look back at Atlanta, and we built a culture where we could say mean things to each other or be like, 'That idea is kind of [crap],' and then we’d laugh. Glover admitted that, when crafting the final episodes of Atlanta, the writers all started out "anti-marriage," thinking that his character, Earn, was not meant to end up with longtime girlfriend Van, played by Zazie Beetz.
