The big screen return of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. has gone through a rocky road on its trip to theaters. Now they just hit another snag with Deadline reporting that Tom Cruise has now left the project. Cruise’s departure from the project is the result of the upcoming Mission: Impossible 5, which he will produce and star in. Warner Bros. is now actively looking for a replacement with hopes to start shooting the project in the fall.
Armie Hammer and Alicia Vikander are still signed on to star in the project. Guy Richie will direct the film from a script by Scott Z. Burns and Max Borenstein.
