Ever since Mary heard that the guy her sister is going to marry got a serious upgrade to Marquess, she is suffering a bad case of Resting Bitchface. I mean, even in comparison to her usual expression. What kind of way is this to look at a guest at the lunch table?

Hugh Bonneville promises 'new elements' and 'thrills and spills' in Downton Abbey 3

The actor tells Yahoo UK that he thinks the new film is the "best" of the franchise

Downton Abbey made some big changes on the big screen with 2022's A New Era, but Robert Crawley star Hugh Bonneville assures Yahoo UK that the upcoming third film will be even bigger and better than anything that has come before it.

Speaking with Yahoo UK for a Role Recall interview, the actor shares that the film feels like a "lovely coming together of people". Fans will be rivetted by what is to come for Robert and the Crawley family because the film is full of "spills and thrills" according to Bonneville, who took a break from production to promote his new ITV series Douglas is Cancelled.

"For my character, I think the usual [can be expected], which is that he's a sort of dinosaur trying to be led into the future reluctantly, and then eventually he stumbles forward a bit," Bonneville teases.

"So as always, there's that rhythm of things changing with glacial slowness, and Robert finally accepting that things [are changing] — it's time to move the story on, so to speak. It's got the usual tropes, if you like, of thrills and spills in a very Downtown [sic] way, which means spilling a tea cup pretty much!

"People who've watched the show over the years and have loved it will miss Maggie Smith's presence. She doesn't step out of the shower and it's all been a dream, she is gone.

"But, I think there's so much warmth and fun to enjoy, and new elements as well — which I won't spoil — that I think it'll certainly be the best iteration of the film versions yet."

The third Downton Abbey film will see the original cast return including Michelle Dockery, Elizabeth McGovern, Jim Carter and Laura Carmichael, while A New Era's Dominic West will also reprise his role as Guy Dexter. They will be joined by a host of new characters played by Paul Giamatti, Joely Richardson, Simon Russell Beale, and Alessandro Nivola.

Details of the story have not yet been revealed, but Bonneville's positivity about it seems like a good sign. The actor also spoke of how it still surprises him that the franchise has become as beloved as it has since the show first premiered in 2010 because it didn't originally seem like it would.

"It never ceases to amaze me, it did when it first started in 2010 and here we are, 14 years later, we're making a third movie," he explains. "At least one of our producers said, 'well, it's never gonna last beyond seven episodes anyway so don't lose too much sleep about this', and here we are all those years later still together.

"What's been really interesting is there's a whole new generation of people watching it and still finding it engaging, and also what's been rather touching, particularly over the pandemic, [was] when people were stuck at home and they revisited a show that had finished five years before.

"Each of us have had lots of letters from people saying: 'I used to watch it with my Gran', or 'my son who is now married', or 'my husband, who's now passed on', or whatever. It had an emotional resonance for the period of time that it was on, and people find comfort in it, and revisited it like a warm bath.

"I'm not complaining because it's been a wonderful part of my life and we're filming the third film at the moment, it's a lovely coming together of people I care deeply about, and that's just the fictional characters."

The moment you realise that from this point on, the main cast of Downton Abbey are never going to get together ever again.

There will forever be someone missing in each of their reunions. Slowly the older actors will leave us, and the younger ones will grow old. Time flies and our memories of when we first watched the show will fade.

But the characters will stay alive or young forever.

One day when we feel the urge to visit our old friends on screen again, they will always be there waiting for us, just like when we first met them all those years ago.

'It feels amazing, a tad emotional. It's wonderful to all be back together again. We come back together and it's like no time has passed at all' - Michelle Dockery announcing Downton Abbey 3

Time will pass, that's for sure. But we can always get back together in our fond memories of what was once so great. This is one of the most beautiful things about tv shows and films.

[thephantomcasebook]

I'm thinking Ewan Mitchell sold his soul to Hollywood. Fucking scary how they lure young great talents like him in. Thoughts?

Look, I'm gonna tell it to you as clean as I can.

Actors and Actresses are narcissistic, shallow, neurotic, empty people, which, as a whole, can't be trusted. They'll do and say whatever it takes not just to get a role, but to get even a few more lines in a script. They are adult people that play make believe for a living because they, generally, don't like themselves and want to be someone else. To deify or put on a throne, anyone, that plays pretend for a living is plain ignorant and you're asking for your heart to be dashed.

No one enters entertainment and comes out a better person, yeah?

There is a very few actors/Actresses that are jobbing, lunch pail working performers that are good and normal people.

Michelle Dockery, Laura Carmichael, Jenna Coleman, Nikolaj Coster-Waldu, Matthew Marsden, Aiden Turner, and Sam Heughan.

The only standard you should have for an actor or actress is these three questions:

Are they respecting the character?

Are they respecting the Lore?

And - most importantly - are they respecting the fans?

I hit Olivia Cooke with the fucking truck all the time, because, Olivia Cooke does not live up to these basic principles. She doesn't care about Alicent, in fact she hates Alicent. She doesn't give a fuck about the lore, and is actively campaigning to change it to virtue signal. And she openly does not care about the fans unless their gender and sexuality gives her cashe to big-up her career.

Like I've said, you can love a character and dislike an actor/actress. I'd give my sword for Alicent Hightower ... and at the same time I think Olivia Cooke is a dishonest snake.

Same thing with Lena Headey. Lena Headey might legitimately be retarded, okay. She is so stupid that she couldn't spell "Cat" if I spotted her the "C" and the "A", right? Lena Heady also happens to check all three of the boxes. She loved playing Cersei. She respected the Lore around Cersei and didn't try to change her character to make her look better. And while she had a terrible history prior of out right abusing her own fans, she learned to appreciate the people that paid her fucking bills, in the end.

When it comes to Ewan. I wouldn't wear those clothes, and I question the manhood and self-respect of any man who wears them - gay or straight. But at the end of the day, Ewan Mitchell has a right to do whatever the fuck he wants to do. Or, more succinctly, I don't give a fuck about his or any other actor's personal lives.

What they do on their time is their business. But what they do on my time is my business. And since I'm paying a subscription for "MAX" and thus paying his fucking salary, I expect him to not waste my time with half-ass performances and hack effort, right?

But he hasn't waisted my time.

Ewan Mitchell has been a model of professionalism and passion when it comes to portraying Aemond.

He has put more thought than anyone - except for Glynn-Carney - about his character.

He is dedicated to playing the character right.

And he has been exemplary in his treatment and interaction with the fans of the show and the franchise as a whole.

And that's really all you can ask of an actor in your franchise. What he does and believes in his personal life is his affair. As long as he doesn't disrespect me than I won't disrespect him. That simple.

Once more, you guys have to stop putting actors/actresses on thrones, cause they're only human ... and, in many cases, not very good ones. Love the character, stan the character, but hold these real life people to simple standards that they should be holding themselves too.

I'm not coming down on you nonny, but I've had thirteen years of this shit on Tumblr of fangirls worshiping an actor or actress in cult like status because they like a character.

You guys have got to stop doing that, cause it only leads to bad things.

Oh you know I need your dream cast for a Succession prequel, Sophie

(x)

Okay okay okay, SO first thing's first, my dream Succession prequel is set against the 80s clusterfuck expansion into parks because every little bit of canon we got about that era just cooks. You've got Logan meeting Frank (and probably Gerri), Logan's whirlwind romance then toxic marriage to Caroline, Logan starting to have the golden trio and reconnecting with Connor and dealing with the aftermath of what happened to, and with, Connor's mother! Plus Ewan may or may not be still involved in the company? (I choose to think he is!)

As a result, a lot of my casting is partially determined by the age the characters would be then, which means I've had to change some actual dream casting (Romola Garai as 40yo Gerri, my beloved), but it's also a pretty fun era to think about so that's fine.

Anyway, let David Tennant as Young(er) Ewan invite you in:

I really love the Snr. Roy's being from Scotland, and their backstory feels so entwined with Scottish WWII history, so I wanted to honour that a bit in the fancasting, but all the same, I think I probably would've cast David Tennant anyway. I think he can sell that simultaneous moral superiority and absolute hypocrisy in a way that Ewan needs, and honestly, I just love the idea of him reading Jesse Armstrong's dialogue, haha.

Was Karl working for Logan in the 80s? I choose to believe yes, because I love him. Jack Lowden's been one of those actors who's popped up in a few things I've watched lately - Fighting with My Family, Small Axe and Slow Horses in particular, and I've been consistently pretty impressed with him? I think he's got a good handle of comedic timing (important for anyone taking up the Karl mantle) but also is a compelling dramatic actor and I think he could kill it opposite...

David Rysdahl as Young Frank! I've always figured Frank would've been a bit younger than Logan, and I love that little glimpse we got in canon of Frank having been brought in to advise on the parks acquisition and then Logan basically making him an offer to stay. There's something extra crunchy there for me if Frank's a little wide-eyed at the time and Logan oozes that charm that we know that he can turn on when he wants to. I like the psychosexual drama, and I also like the idea of Frank having this weird sort of connection to Caroline and Kendall because he met them while he was still impressionable / in the midst of being swept up.

But yes, haha, David Rysdahl I think is a bit of an up-and-comer, which is kinda funny given he's been in a lot of stuff. I've liked him though in the newest season of Fargo, and lowkey think he looks a bit like a young Peter Friedman.

Honestly, I just loved her in Swallow a lot, and she played the smart, unhappy, unhinged, WASP-y wife there to such perfection that I think she'd be ideal for a young Gerri who's still better known as Baird's wife than as counsel. There's such an attitude and vulnerability to Haley too which I think would match J's quite well, plus they have a bit of a similar look too which works for me? I want to see her claw her way in! And I also want to see her toxic relationship with Caroline which leads to her being Shiv's godmother.

Speaking of...

Honestly, I went through a few people for Caroline and she was surprisingly hard to cast. A lot of actresses who felt like they might fit the bill - Michelle Dockery and Claire Foy were two that sprung to mind - didn't really work as I didn't think they could quite balance the acidity with the blunt charm and playfulness that Harriet Walter just does so well (and honestly is a testament to what an actress she is). But then! Jessie Buckley! I've loved Jessie in everything I've seen her in, from Women Talking to The Lost Daughter, but it was actually thinking about her turn in Misbehaviour which made me think of her for this, exactly because of how she can play, well playfulness.

Plus I think she'd be a lot of fun opposite...

I did say I''d go with a Scotsman! Ewan McGregor's been in a few mmm, less good things lately, which makes a turn in a role like Logan Roy could potentially be pretty great. He's always been a remarkable actor, and one who, I think, can find the heart in any role, which is arguably what any actor playing Logan needs. Plus I always tend to think Ewan has chemistry with everyone he acts opposite, and I think he could really sell Logan's naked charisma in this era in a way that would make sense given he's making some pretty questionable choices across the board in the 80s. Plus, y'know, to the point of the post that inspired this one, I think him playing Logan would do a lot of psychic damage to people who could only ever see Logan as perpetrator of abuse and never as product or victim.

New Years Kiss ~Kate Woodstock xFem Assistant!Reader ~Holiday Bingo

Summary— A late night at Kate’s office, some scotch, and some New Year’s resolutions lead to new things… (Post Season 1).

Previous Day <—found here!

Holiday Bingo <—Here!!

Mommy… Masterlist

Requests & Prompt-List

Prompt- Resolutions

Warnings: light NSFW, implied smut, kissing, implied confessions of feelings, alcohol, alcohol consumption, implied age gap (all legal), etc.

Enjoy (;

You opened the bottle of scotch with a pop! And poured you and Kate each a glass.

It was late and you are both in her office. It had been a long day. Kate had spent all day arguing in court in the second Whitehall case. And you, as her new assistant, were always running to keep up with her.

You handed the woman her glass and she thanked you.

You did your best to follow what she said, keep track of her things, take notes, and learn from your mentor as best as you could. You usually ended up working insane hours, really early and then late into the night, but you liked it. But it was never easy…

Especially as her gaze racked up and down your figure as she sipped her scotch.

You sipped some of your own as a way to distract, your cheeks flushing a little. This made Kate chuckle.

“What…?”

“Nothing, you’re just adorable.” Kate hummed, taking another sip of her alcohol.

This made you blush even more.

“Am not…” you mumbled back.

“I looked at you for more than one second, and you start blushing… That’s adorable.” Kate chuckled.

You huffed in defeat, trying to avoid anymore blushing embarrassment. So you sat down in one of her lounge chairs. Kate followed and sat next to you in the loveseat. You only then noticed the time.

“Fuck Kate. It’s 1…”

Kate only then looked at the clock and her eyes widened.

“Indeed… Happy New Years, love.” She hummed, raising her glass out for you to clink.

You two clinked glasses and chuckled.

“So… any New Year’s resolutions for you?” Kate asked.

You thought about it for a moment.

“I’d… I would like to try to be less stressed.” You decidingly exclaimed.

You met Kate’s gaze after she didn’t respond for a moment after you spoke. Her gaze was fixed on your lips, but flickered back up to your eyes as you looked at her.

“You?”

“I…” Kate whispered, putting her glass down and coming closer to you, “Would like to kiss you…” she breathed out.

Your breath hitched and your eyes widened. Kate took your drink for you, putting it aside as you gulped.

“I’d very much like that…” you breathed out, your breathing already growing shallow.

This made Kate smile and lean in to close the gap. She slowly pecked your lips, starting slow and beginning to explore your lips. She bit your bottom lips every once in a while, making you shiver and causing your body to heat up more and more.

Kate’s left hand slid behind and around your neck, and her other landed on your thigh.

Her tongue then came out, swiping your bottom lip while she hummed. You understood her ask, opening your mouth enough for Kate’s tongue to enter your cavern. You let out an instinctive and breathy moan, as her tongue began to taste and explore your mouth.

It was still a slow pace, you were very much letting Kate take the lead. When she realized your hands wee frozen and unsure what to do, she guided them to her hips, humming in satisfaction when you had found her curves.

This was when you started to lose air, and Kate was as well, so she slowly pulled away. Her hooded eyes met your gaze. You breathed out a ragged breath and shivered.

There was only one thing going through your mind right now, and you could only say one thing,

“More” you whimpered.

Not romantic chemistry, but overall onscreen chemistry...

I think in Marvel Chris basically had chemistry with everyone.

Actually, I think if he was still in the franchise they might actually be doing better. A while back on twitter fans were reminiscing how the old Marvel OGs vibed and hit way better than the new generation. People were saying Chris had fun with virtually everyone he was paired up with during those Avengers press tours and there was always laughter and hilarity in those interviews he participated in. His personality was just inviting and charismatic and I really think it rubbed off on a lot of people. Not everyone, but the majority. And I think now that he's no longer there, there is a hole.

He and RDJ really had chemistry. Hemsworth. Scarlett. Renner. Elizabeth Olsen. Chadwick.

Danai and him didn't have too many scenes on camera but IRL they vibed very well.

While not everyone appeared to get along with Brie Larsen when she first showed up, her and Chris vibe well.

Him and Don Cheadle have great hilarious snarky banter.

Even him and Frank Grillo - everyone has to hate on the whole Hydra thing but they actually had chemistry. It was weird but interesting. Makes that whole dynamic also intriguing and terrible.

Anthony Mackie and Chris have excellent chemistry. IMHO, Steve and Sam's friendship was one of my favorites - they immediately lit up the screen upon first meeting. I wish they explored that friendship more when they could have.

Outside of Marvel, I think Chris has great chemistry with Octavia Spencer. I also thought he did better with Betty Gabriel in Defending Jacob than Michelle Dockery. Maybe because Betty's character wasn't his wife and he just does better when he's teaming up with someone or portraying a friendship or even a nemesis.

Bryce Dallas Howard and him did pretty well. I think she's a really good actress too and that pairing of their characters actually worked for me.

Overall, I thought Chris and everyone else in Knives Out had great chemistry. Not a single miss IMHO. I also think that was one of the best casts of modern times. I'm a bit confused, annoyed, and irritated as to why they didn't get a Best Ensemble Cast nomination.

I agree with all this. No one has to ever complained about him on set. Everyone seems to get along with him well. He just can’t fake being in love 🤷🏻‍♀️ being a love interest is his weakness.

[eolewyn1010]

As I've started to rewatch Downton Abbey, I realize why I didn't like Mary from the start, despite her bullying only really reaching its heights in season 5: She expects everyone to bend over backwards to shower her with the privileges of a lady, but she doesn't want to bow to the obligations that come with it. She doesn't care to be a virgin for marriage, she complains about having to wear mourning attire ("I hate black" - funny; later on, it's one of the more dominant colors of her wardrobe even outside of mourning), she gossips, she has zero social graces for people who are grieving. Now, usually, I would defend a woman's rights to all those, but the problem is, she still expects to be pampered, even when she gives nothing in return. Bless Michelle Dockery's soul; she brought a real bitch to life there. Wondering if Julian Fellowes did that on purpose or is just blind to Mary's character flaws as she's something of his pet.

Also, Laura Carmichael is a very beautiful woman, and throughout the first season, they kept dressing her down. And apparently telling her to press her chin down so her face looks as unflattering as possible.

Maggie Smith

Wit, Wisdom, and Withering Remarks: An Appreciation of Downton Abbey's Dowager Countess How Maggie Smith's Violet Crawley became a pop-culture icon, whether she'd like it or not. Warning: spoilers ahead. By Elizabeth HolmesPublished: Sep 27, 2024 Following the news of Maggie Smith's death, we're resharing this 2022 ode to her performance as the Dowager Countess in Downton Abbey.

hen we last saw Maggie Smith as Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, she was seated in a dimly lit room as her family waltzed the night away just outside the door. In the sobering twist towards the end of the first Downton Abbey movie, she requests a heart-to-heart with her granddaughter.

“I may not have long to live,” the Dowager Countess says plainly to Lady Mary, played by Michelle Dockery, her satin-gloved hand holding tight to her walking stick.

The thought of Downton existing without the biting wit of Smith’s character was both expected and devastating.

Now that we've got a trailer and a release date for Oddity, here's the trailer of Here, Gwilym's other upcoming project, starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Paul Bettany, out on November 15.

"While Here focuses mainly on [Tom Hanks and Robin Wright's] family, the film occasionally flashes back to those who inhabited these four walls before them and faced their own upheavals and conflicts. Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and Gwilym Lee (Bohemian Rhapsody) play the home’s first residents at the dawn of the 20th century, an aviator and his wife who never suspect how soon their living room will be used for a funeral wake."
