The rumors are becoming more and more insistent: BridgertonNetflix’s Regency series based on the novels of Julia Quinn (Mondadori) and adapted by Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy), could welcome the presence most loved by fans. In the third seasonwhich is about to be filmed in the UK and which will star Colin and Penelope, could return the Duke of Hastings, husband of Daphne and absolute star of the first chapter.
Actor Regè-Jean Page, currently one of the guests of Milan Fashion Week, refused the role of guest star in the second chapter due to an economic offer that he said was not adequate. Simon’s absence, however, made itself felt and how, not so much in terms of listening, because the series received a warm welcome, as expected, but the audience always had the feeling that something was missing. Or rather someone: Simon has enchanted viewers with the so-called elusive charm of the libertine, which however honors the values of a gentleman.
The Sun has just stated that the 34-year-old actor, despite what has been said in the past, is in talks for a comeback in a big way. According to a source close to the magazine, in fact, there could be news on the way. Regè-Jean Page’s contract covered the time span of just one season, but for the fans it wasn’t enough, as the production soon realized. That’s why the leaders of the project would have contacted the actor again to make him return to the cast.
The British sex symbol has often been associated with the future of the James Bond saga in the cinema, following the farewell of Daniel Craig. In the meantime, he has cast highly anticipated roles. He will be part of the cast of Dungeons & Dragons: honor among thieves and will join Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana De Armas in The Gray Man, arriving July 22 on Netflix.
The actor hasn’t announced anything to his 6.3 million followers on Instagram where he continues to share new projects. Shonda Rhimes is known to turn everything she touches on TV into gold: novel King Midas, in fact, has launched or relaunched other careers thanks to his serial stories, including that of Dr. Strangelove Patrick Dempsey, a former Eighties sex symbol who then fell into oblivion before conquering not only Meredith but all the fans of Grey’s Anatomy. One wonders, then, who will probably be next on the list coming to the prequel to Bridgerton on Queen Charlotte.
