Regé-Jean Page, the breakout star of ‘Bridgerton,’ has roles in high-profile movies ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ and ‘The Gray Man.’
News that “Bridgerton” star Regé-Jean Page will not appear in the upcoming second season set the internet aflame on Friday. “It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end — give us a year,” Page, who played Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, told Variety exclusively, recounting early conversations with Shondaland producers. “[I thought] ‘That’s interesting,’ because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.” In the spirit of “rolling on,” viewers have another burning question: What’s Page doing next? The actor has a relatively full dance card, having nabbed roles in a couple of high-profile films, including the Russo brothers’ “The Gray Man.” Page recently wrapped filming on the Netflix spy thriller starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. Rounding out the big-budget project’s starry ensemble are Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Woodard, Ana de Armas, Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, Dhanush, Eme Ikwuakor, Scott Haze and Julia Butters. Page also landed a role in “Dungeons & Dragons,” joining a cast that includes Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez and Justice Smith.
