Meghan Markle is reportedly still being considered for a role in “The Gentlemen,” despite claims that she was dropped from the Netflix project. The speculation began after royal author Tina Brown reportedly said that public backlash had made her involvement untenable.
However, a new report suggests that discussions about Markle’s potential appearance are still ongoing, although no formal agreement has been reached.
Meghan Markle is reportedly still in talks for The Gentlemen despite claims she was dropped
Meghan Markle’s potential role in “The Gentlemen” remains under discussion, according to The Sun. Brown previously claimed that Markle had been dropped from the project, saying, “The backlash was so intense it became untenable to go forward.” The latest report, however, indicates that her involvement has yet to be ruled out.
Markle has previously worked with Netflix, including her series “With Love, Meghan,” which ran for two seasons. According to a TV source, she is considered a very valuable star. The insider said, “Her return to acting is expected to draw a large audience of both her supporters and critics, and is likely to make a lot of money. It will be seen as a major coup for whoever signs her.” Her previous work with the streaming platform could also make a potential return to a scripted series a notable development for Netflix.
“The Gentlemen” is a popular series created by Guy Ritchie. Sources say that the Duchess of Sussex could play the role of a temptress in the series. This would mark a major return to television for Markle following her time on “Suits.” After stepping back from royal duties, she has embarked on several independent ventures, including her own Netflix show and lifestyle brand. If the reports are accurate, this would be another significant step in her return to the entertainment industry.
