Cast members of the series The Gentlemen have addressed ongoing media speculation regarding a potential acting return for Meghan Markle. The remarks were made during an event held at Guildhall.
Red Carpet Rumors and the Cast Response
Speculation about Markle joining the cast has circulated, prompting questions for the show’s ensemble cast and creators on the red carpet.
Vinnie Jones told reporters that he has heard only what you have,
according to BBC coverage of the event, before offering a lighthearted take on the series’ casting dynamics.
We’ve got a lot of pretty women in this. So I’m not sure there’s room for any more,
Jones said, as reported by the BBC.
Dismissing the Reports as Hot Air
Other members of the ensemble similarly distanced themselves from the rumours.
Kaya Scodelario told the BBC that the casting reports were way above my pay grade,
while Bonneville stated that he had no idea
whether there was any truth to the speculation.
James offered a more satirical spin on the red carpet, joking to the BBC that Prince Harry’s in it
and playing one of my love interests.
Weighing In From Newcomers and Insiders
Newcomer Jama noted that she offered no advice regarding the rumors, telling the BBC, Oh my God, she’s a seasoned actor. I have no advice for her. She knows what she’s doing.
Matthew Read Addresses Season Two Trajectory
Ritchie did not speak to the press at the Guildhall premiere, but writer and executive producer Matthew Read discussed the production with the BBC.
Read indicated that the creative team is focused on bringing up more energy and surprises in series two and further on in the series,
according to the BBC.
When directly asked by the BBC if the comments ruled out Markle’s involvement, Read declined to speculate, stating, I just don’t think it’s right to speculate at this stage, so I wouldn’t like to say yes or no.
