His schedule must be insane. Between Stranger Things press, Avengers, and other projects, something had to give. Still, a bit unprofessional to leave after shooting has started, no? Hope the producers find a good fit quickly.

Tony Gilroy is a genius after Andor. The plot about a cellist sounds interesting and different. Harbour is great, but I'm sure they'll find someone excellent. Maybe an Indian actor for a change? We have so much talent! 😄

More excited for Violent Night 2, to be honest! That movie was such a fun, festive watch. Harbour has a unique charm. Hope his exit is for a good personal or creative reason and not some behind-the-scenes drama.

The cast is still stellar with Pedro Pascal. These Hollywood scheduling conflicts remind me of our Bollywood stars doing multiple films at once. It's a tough industry. Wishing the team all the best.
