Meghan Markle’s The Gentlemen Role in Doubt as Theo James Responds to Rumours

Netflix has sparked fresh intrigue surrounding Meghan Markle joining The Gentlemen movie cast.

The Duchess of Sussex was freshly connect to a possible role in the Netflix series as she weighs a return to acting. Reports have since changed, with some claiming that the possible role was reserved amid criticism in the UK.

Netflix executive Manda Levin has now given a cryptic response to the speculation. Asked about Meghan’s reported casting at an industry event, Levin simply said, “All bets are off,” without confirming or denying whether the Duchess of Sussex could appear in the series.

Actor Theo James has also addressed the rumours, but in a more playful way. During an interview with Town & Country on September 2, James was asked about a “certain ex-royal” potentially joining The Gentlemen for its third season.

The actor jokingly replied that Sarah Ferguson, known as Fergie, would be joining the show as his love interest. He later dismissed the Meghan speculation as “mainly a lot of hot air” and said the focus is currently on the upcoming second season.

James also revealed that the creators have plans to expand the show’s world and potentially explore different countries in future episodes, although details about the third season remain unclear.

Meghan’s potential contribution increased consideration after reports related her to the show around the same time she and Prince Harry were reportedly planning a return to the UK.

Joining The Gentlemen would signify a major comeback to scripted television for Meghan, who quit acting in 2017. Although her long absence from acting, she has, however, appeared briefly in the upcoming comedy film Close Personal Friends.

As Season 2 prepares to premiere on September 3, The Gentlemen is reportedly set to return for a third season as well.
