One person wrote: "They had to persuade Matthew Goode to join #DowntonAbbey and that should have been a hint he wasn’t interested. We’re guessing he’ll have as small a role in the upcoming movie as he did the last one. Here he appears to be missing his business partner’s wedding."

However, Matthew is included in the cast list for the sequel, so he should be appearing at some point, watch this space! He previously opened up about only having a very small role in the first Downton film back on This Morning in 2018, saying: "Can’t speak about it. I can’t give any plot away. I’m in it. No comment, no comment. Not a huge amount, I’ll tell you that much.
Are you excited for the show's return?
"It’s a very brilliant new story, the cast has got bigger, I won’t tell you who’s in it. But there’s a lot of great new faces. I don’t think [fans will be disappointed]. How can you be disappointed if it’s back?"
