      Maggie Smith Likely to Ditch 'Downton Abbey' Movie Sequel Due to Covid-19 Concerns

      by

      ITV

      The 85-year-old actress may not be able to reprise her role for the next ‘Downton Abbey’ film because of the higher risk posed to the elderly by the coronavirus.
      Jun 24, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Maggie Smith will reportedly be unable to reprise her role in the sequel to the “Downton Abbey” movie due to fears it will be unsafe for her to be on set due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
      The first film, released last year, concluded with her character, the Dowager Countess of Grantham, not having long to live, but it was thought she would appear in the sequel for a final farewell
      However, producers fear she will not be able to return as she will be 86 when filming starts next year 2021 and it will not be safe for her to be on set due to the risk posed to the elderly by the coronavirus.
      “Before lockdown, the hope was that Dame Maggie was considering a return for the sequel,” a source at the film’s studio, Focus Features tells British newspaper The Sun.
      “There was a genuine ­feeling that even having her return for just a flashback would leave fans delighted. Safety has to be their top priority and she will be 86 by next year. Everyone’s hands are tied.”
      “She has been the spirit and heart of the Downton project for years so it will be really sad if they can’t make it work.”
      The movie, which was a major hit – repeating the success Downton had as a TV period drama, earned more than $192 million in cinemas, with creator Julian Fellowes keen to proceed with a sequel.

      Michael Keaton Is in Negotiation to Reprise Batman Role in 'The Flash'

      by

      WENN

      Warner Bros. bosses are reported to be eyeing the actor, who portrayed the caped crusader in 1989’s ‘Batman’ and its sequel ‘Batman Returns’, for Ezra Miller’s stand-alone superhero film.
      Jun 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Michael Keaton is in talks to reprise the role of Batman for the planned “The Flash” movie.
      The “Birdman” star first donned the cape and cowl for 1989’s “Batman” and its sequel, “Batman Returns”, and now Warner Bros. bosses reportedly want him back for Ezra Miller’s stand-alone superhero film, in which the “Justice League” actor will return as the titular speedster.
      According to TheWrap.com, the storyline will introduce viewers to the idea of the multiverse, in which multiple versions of the same characters exist in alternate universes, as explained in the DC Comics – and therefore won’t affect the plot outlined in director Matt Reeves’ “The Batman”, starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader.
      If Keaton signs on, he could also feature in other planned DC movies, such as “Batgirl”.
      Andres Muschietti is taking charge of “The Flash” from a script by “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” writer Christina Hodson.
