Scodelario, 34, explained that she has no say in the show’s casting, and if she did, she would cast her “friends.”

“I, unfortunately, have no decision-making abilities,” she said. “I wish I did because I would love to cast the show myself; I’d put all my friends in it.”

The “Skins” star also said she has no idea whether the speculation about Markle’s cameo is true. However, she would be on board if they are.

“I don’t know,” Scodelario admitted. “I think what’s wonderful about our show is that we have these characters pop up and we get these great guest actors come in, sprinkle a little bit of their magic into the characters and make really memorable scenes out of them.”

She continued, “It’s one of the things I like most about the show. We have wonderful guest actors in season 2, and the more the merrier. Everyone, have a go!”

“The Gentleman” has already returned for Season 2 and secured a renewal for a third season. However, despite all the buzz, Markle’s rumored place in the series remains up in the air.

Speculation about the “Suits” actress began after reports surfaced that she could make a cameo in the Guy Ritchie series. The possibility quickly drew plenty of attention, with fans wondering what kind of character Markle could play in the crime drama. However, the story has since become considerably more complicated.

Page Six reported that Markle was never actually offered a role in “The Gentlemen.” According to the outlet, the confusion allegedly came from a casual conversation between the Duchess and a casting director, which Markle reportedly understood as an indication that she could appear in the series.

The report has cast new doubt on whether viewers will ever see Markle step into the world of “The Gentlemen,” even as the rumors continue to make headlines.

Apart from Scodelario, actor Vinnie Jones, who stars in the second series, also reacted to Markle’s possible cameo on “The Gentleman.” While the actress had no qualms about her joining the cast, Jones may not be so fond of the idea.

The actor pointed out that the show already has plenty of “pretty girls” in its lineup.

“We have got a lot of pretty girls in this; I’m not sure there is room for another one,” he said.

However, if he could pick one actor, he would like Matthew McConaughey to have a cameo in the series.

The rumors about Markle joining the British crime drama surfaced shortly after reports that she and her husband, Prince Harry, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were preparing for an indefinite move back to the UK. According to Variety, the actress, who retired from acting upon her 2018 royal wedding, was in very early discussions about joining a potential third season of “The Gentlemen.” The publication stressed that no contract was in place and that her possible character had not been identified.

As Markle and Prince Harry made their way back to the UK last month after living in California since 2020, King Charles acknowledged in a statement issued on Monday that they will not be resuming royal obligations.

The Duke and Duchess also starred in a six-part Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan,” which featured intimate interviews and never-before-seen footage of the pair. In 2022, Markle spoke with Variety and shared whether she’d ever return to acting.

“No. I’m done,” she said at the time. “I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not.”
