There’s a new report suggesting that Megan has expressed interest in playing the role of Angelina Jolie in the proposed Mr and Mrs Smith series reboot.
The original movie, which starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, followed the story of two spies who accidentally fall in love while trying to kill each other.
It was a massive success, raking in $478 million worldwide.
Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, has shown interest in leading a new series adaptation of Mr and Mrs Smith at Amazon Prime Studios.
However, it seems that the film’s original actors will not be making an appearance in the revival.
Megan Markle, who has been looking for acting opportunities, saw this as a chance to resume her acting career.
Mark Boardman, a media critic, pointed out that Megan has career aspirations beyond her current endeavors, especially in light of her recent Netflix series.
Megan’s determination to pursue her acting goals is evident as she competes with Prince Harry for an Emmy nomination.
Despite Megan’s interest in the role, Mr and Mrs Smith screenwriter Simon Kinberg apparently believed she was not suitable for the part.
According to Celebrity, Kinberg felt that Megan lacked the adaptability required for the role and that the genre of the movie might not align with her current persona and brand.
Interestingly, Simon Kinberg’s wife, Cleo Wade, was once a friend of Megan’s.
However, recent actions suggest a possible strain in their relationship.
Cleo Wade removed the name tag from a photo celebrating Megan’s birthday, and there has been minimal interaction between the two on social media.
Given Megan’s admiration for Angelina Jolie, the rumor of her interest in the role might hold some truth.
Recently, Megan has been rumored to be following in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps and aspiring to become a Hollywood philanthropist.
There have been instances where Megan seems to be emulating Angelina, such as the outfit she wore during her engagement with the late Queen.
This engagement occurred before Catherine, who had been a royal wife for more than five years at that point, had her own engagement with the monarch.
The first official photo shoot of Harry and Megan as a couple took place when they announced their engagement to the world.
They posed in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace, with Harry donning a blue suit and Megan opting for an oversized belted white coat by Canadian brand Lion the Label.
Interestingly, Anne was seen wearing a similar coat in New York back in 2011, featuring nearly identical belt details, and both women had their coats firmly done up.
Megan believes she is on par with Angelina, but there is a notable difference in their approach to charity work.
Angelina doesn’t publicize her philanthropic efforts, whereas Megan feels the need to showcase her charitable endeavors.
This perspective arises after PR expert Rhea Freeman suggested that Megan might return to acting following her latest Netflix project.
Freeman believes that Megan would be better suited for a producer role, as the focus would be on her rather than the story, which could invite criticism regardless of her acting abilities.
However, Freeman acknowledges that a return to the screen could be a possibility for Megan, drawing a comparison to actress Reese Witherspoon, who often acts in and produces her own projects.
The question arises: why shouldn’t Megan return to acting?
Perhaps it is linked to the overall objective of archival productions.
Is it solely to reestablish Megan as an actress, or is it to tell stories that are perfect for adaptation?
These considerations highlight the potential future endeavors Megan may pursue in the entertainment industry.
