None of the scenes that Lena Headey filmed for “Thor: Love and Thunder” made the final cut, but that isn’t stopping former representatives of the “Game of Thrones” star from suing her.
Headey’s former agency, Troika, has filed a lawsuit alleging that the actress owes 1.5 million in unpaid commissions (via Variety), including 500,000 from her “Thor: Love and Thunder” salary. The agency is also seeking a 300,000 commission from the film “9 Bullets” and 650,000 for the scrapped Showtime series “Rita.” Headey had signed on to play the titular character on the show, but Showtime decided not to move forward with it after seeing the pilot.
According to court documents, Headey signed with Troika in 2005, when her longtime agent Michael Duff left his position at Lou Carl Associates to join the agency. Troika merged with James Grant Group in 2017, before being acquired by a private equity firm and rebranded as Ymu...

“Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey is being sued for 1.5 million by her former U.K. agency Troika over unpaid commission fees relating to a number of projects including the upcoming film “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
Troika, which re-branded as Ymu in 2020, claims Headey owes the agency at least 500,000 — equivalent to 7 of her fee — for her earnings on the Marvel movie.
Variety can confirm that Headey does not appear in the final cut of “Thor: Love and Thunder,” which stars Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. The film is set for release next week.
Reps for Headey and Marvel did not reply to Variety’s requests for comment by publication time.
According to court documents, Headey joined Troika in 2005 after following her personal rep, Michael Duff, there from his previous agency Lou Carl Associates.

Exclusive: Multi-award winning I May Destroy You and Chewing Gum creator Michaela Coel has signed with UTA in the U.S. The agency will represent the multi-hyphenate in all areas. In the UK, she will continue to be represented by Conor McCaughan and Michael Duff.
Coel was previously with CAA but the writer and performer left the agency after she said it “tried to push her” to strike a deal with Netflix for her semi-autobiographical series I May Destroy You.
Coel famously rejected Netflix’s multimillion-dollar offer due to the streamer refusing to budge on requiring a portion of back-end rights in return. The show was instead greenlit by the BBC and HBO, and brought the London-born star critical acclaim and global fame. The series scored nine Emmy nominations, with Coel winning for writing.
She is currently starring in Marvel feature Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and is in the middle of writing another BBC show,...

Ymu Group has confirmed it will rebrand leading scripted talent firm Troika as Ymu Drama and Comedy, effective July 1. The Troika brand will be discontinued as the division is fully integrated within the group, following a management shakeup.

Melanie Rockcliffe, the third co-founder of Troika, now a director of Ymu Group, said: “Although I am of course sad to see the Troika name disappear, I’m excited for my team and clients to be part of the new integrated, forward-thinking and future-facing Ymu Group.”

Exclusive: Blue chip UK talent agency Troika, which reps 300+ clients, is going through a significant transition following the announced departure of co-founders Conor McCaughan and Michael Duff after 15 years at the helm. In his first interview in the role, we spoke to new Executive Chairman Ben Hall about the challenges and opportunities ahead.
It’s a delicate moment for the agency, whose starry client roster has included talent such as Michael Fassbender, Ruth Wilson, Lena Headey, Daniel Kaluuya, Karen Gillan, Anya Taylor-Joy, Michaela Coel, Joe Cole, Peter Capaldi and Matt Smith.
Until recently, one of Troika’s most prized assets was Fifty Shades and The Fall star Jamie Dornan but we understand from multiple sources that the actor is no longer with the agency. Fassbender, it is widely assumed, will ultimately follow his long-time agent McCaughan, with whom he also has production company Dmc Film.
