Theo James addresses Meghan Markle casting rumors related to ‘Gentlemen’ role
Theo James, the star of Netflix’s hit series “The Gentlemen,” recently weighed in on the rumor mill surrounding a possible casting for Season 3 involving former royal Meghan Markle. During a media source event, James humorously commented that speculation regarding Markle’s participation is largely unfounded, joking that Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, would instead be joining the cast.
James described the current buzz surrounding Markle’s potential role as “mainly a lot of hot air.” He emphasized that the focus remains on maximizing viewership for the show’s second season, which is set to premiere soon, while noting that more details regarding the third season will be disclosed in the near future. The anticipation surrounding “The Gentlemen,” directed by Guy Ritchie, continues to grow, especially after news broke that the series has already been greenlit for a third installment.
In his discussion, James shared insights into the overarching ambitions of the series moving forward. He indicated that the creators plan to broaden the show’s scope, exploring different locations and settings, although specifics on future developments remain undecided.
The speculation around Markle’s involvement is particularly pronounced given her recent relocation back to the United Kingdom with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children. Reports suggest that while she has been approached for a role, no official confirmations have been made. Sources note that producers are contemplating various possibilities regarding her participation in the series, which was originally launched in March 2024.
Moreover, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Manda Levin, had prompted further intrigue at a recent event by declaring that “all bets are off” concerning Markle’s potential casting. This remark came amidst a backdrop of increasing interest in the participation of high-profile personalities in entertainment projects.
As the media speculation continues, many remain curious about how Markle’s possible involvement in “The Gentlemen” would unfold, particularly given the royal family’s ongoing dynamics and her recent return to the public eye.
