Theo James called the Meghan Markle casting reports “hot air” as the show’s stars said no deal has been finalized.
- On Wednesday, September 2, lead actor Theo James dismissed reports that Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, would join 'The Gentlemen' season 3 as "spurious" and "hot air," calling the practicalities "impossible" at the series' season 2 premiere.

- Former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown later claimed any potential offer was withdrawn following intense "backlash in the UK," suggesting reputational concerns influenced the production's casting direction.
- Cast members Vinnie Jones and Hugh Bonneville commented on the speculation, with Jones calling the rumors "hot air" and Bonneville describing it as "a genius piece of marketing."
- While 'The Gentlemen' has been officially renewed for a third season, James noted casting details remain "very much up in the air" as production prioritizes the second season premiere on Thursday, September 3.
