According to Variety, in May 2020, he had to leave the project because its filming schedule was clashing with the series ‘The Great.’ “Then I had to drop out because I was already attached to do some more of ‘The Great,’” he said.
He also revealed that he had screen tested for ‘Top Gun: Maverick‘ and ‘The Batman.’ “I screen-tested for ‘Batman’ and didn’t get it. Screen-tested for ‘Top Gun,’ didn’t get it”, he said.
The actor did not disclose the role he had auditioned for in ‘Top Gun‘. But it was either Bradley Bradshaw (played Miles Teller) or Jake Seresin (played Glen Powell).
