‘The Gentlemen’ Star: Meghan Markle Casting Talk ‘A Lot Of Hot Air’
Theo James called the Meghan Markle casting talk a rumor and said he did not know how the role would work.
- Theo James dismissed rumors that Meghan Markle would join The Gentlemen for its third season, clarifying speculation surrounding the Duchess of Sussex's potential involvement during a recent interview.
- Speculation intensified last month when Deadline reported the Duchess was in talks for the role; former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown later claimed the casting was withdrawn due to "backlash in the UK."
- In a Digital Spy interview, James labeled the reports "just a rumour" and questioned the practicalities, adding he would prefer casting someone "psychopathic, like old school Robert Carlyle."
- The series' second season premieres on Netflix on Thursday, September 3, with stars James and Kaya Scodelario returning as the criminal empire expands from Britain to Italy.
- Director Guy Ritchie confirmed a third season, stating "the ambition of The Gentlemen has accelerated, the world has expanded and the consequences carry weight" as production ventures into new territories.
