Hugh Bonneville - who plays Lord Grantham - also discussed his excitement over the upcoming film, telling the audience at the Heroes at Highclere event at Highclere Castle: "I'm looking forward to being back with that wonderful cast of people and the team. I'm so thrilled that a lot of the production team and a lot of the crew, our makeup artist who was working on the first two series is coming back to join us. It's really nice to be back with the family." However, Lily James has confirmed that she won't be returning to her role as Rose, telling People magazine: "My character Rose moved off to New York, so it would be far-fetched to bring her back. I would have loved to have come back for a scene, but for a movie, it can’t be like a Christmas special and it needs to be a focused storyline. There was simply no space for Rose." Fans don't have much longer to wait until they get to watch the brand new film, as it will be released on 13 September 2019!
