- Tom Holland played Gregory Cromwell in the original Wolf Hall series in 2015.

- The decision to cut Holland is speculated to be due to his increased cost as an actor.
Tom Holland, known for his role as Spider-Man, originally played Gregory Cromwell in the BBC series Wolf Hall in 2015. As the new sequel, Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light, begins, viewers will see a revised version of a significant flashback scene where Holland's character interacts with Anne Boleyn. In this new version, Charlie Rowe has taken over the role of Gregory. Speculation surrounds the reason for Holland's exclusion, suggesting that his rising salary demands influenced production decisions. This adjustment comes at a time when the entertainment industry navigates higher actor compensation, impacting casting choices for sequels and revisions. The sequel again features Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis in their original roles and continues the story right after the events of the first series, further developing the historical narrative around Thomas Cromwell and the Tudor dynasty's intrigues.
