Before Meghan Markle became the Duchess of Sussex and married Prince Harry, she was a relatively unknown actress striving to make her mark in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry. Back then, her acting skills didn't particularly stand out, and she remained relatively under the radar. Fast forward to today, Meghan Markle's marriage to Prince Harry has catapulted her to international fame.
Recent hints have suggested that Meghan might be contemplating a return to acting. In July, there were rumors circulating that Meghan was considering a role in a follow-up to the 1992 hit movie "The Bodyguard," starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
In a past interview, Costner had mentioned that a script for the sequel had been drafted in the '90s, with Princess Diana in mind for the lead role. However, it's unclear whether there is any current interest in reviving the project or if Meghan is being considered for the lead role.
Kevin Costner is currently deeply committed to a film project, "Horizon: An American Saga," which he considers the pinnacle of his career. The actor even took a step back from his successful TV series, "Yellowstone," to devote himself to this new endeavor. As reported by Radar Online, Meghan Markle is actively working behind the scenes to position herself for a significant role in the second half of the four-movie "Horizon" Saga. She views this as an opportunity to fulfill her long-standing aspiration to become a prominent figure in the world of cinema.
Meghan sees her involvement in "Horizon" as a chance to solidify her comeback in Hollywood, particularly after a few unsuccessful ventures, including a podcast series with Prince Harry. She believes that her participation in "Horizon" could serve as a pivotal moment in her acting career, establishing her as a serious actress.
"Horizon" holds immense personal significance for Kevin Costner, who has poured his heart and soul into the project. While he acknowledges the attention and audience that Meghan could potentially bring, much like she did with "Suits," the decision to involve her in the project remains uncertain. Meghan's presence at a charity fundraiser on Kevin's estate appeared to be an effort to impress him and secure a role in the project.
However, it seems that this plan didn't yield the desired results, as Kevin reportedly distanced himself from Meghan. Despite her efforts to highlight her role in the event, Kevin focused primarily on thanking First Responders for their invaluable work, with no mention of Meghan's presence.
The outcome of Meghan's potential role in "Horizon" remains uncertain, given that it is a passion project for Kevin Costner and a highly anticipated film event. While Meghan's involvement could have a significant impact on the project and open doors for her in the entertainment industry, the ultimate decision rests with Kevin, who will weigh the project's success and Meghan's potential contribution.
