Meghan has reportedly asked for $20 million for this new deal, although doubts linger about her current acting abilities, given her hiatus from the profession. When she signed with WME in April, it was initially announced that she wouldn't focus on acting or pursue a movie star career. However, Meghan now appears interested in returning to the screen, even though she lacks major projects or recent acting experience.
Critics argue that Meghan's acting talent may not be sufficient for significant roles, given the availability of more qualified actors. Some suggest that if she can't commit full-time, she could consider highly lucrative guest appearances. However, Meghan has requested a part-time role with a substantial salary, raising questions about the feasibility of such an arrangement.
Additionally, some question her influence on the popularity of 'Suits,' arguing that her association with the royal family may have brought attention to the show rather than contributing significantly to its success. Skepticism exists about the likelihood of a successful series starring Meghan Markle, given her acting hiatus.
Critics wonder why studio executives didn't pursue her immediately after her departure from 'Suits' if she was such a vital asset. The idea of her returning to a show some consider less prominent has also sparked debate.
In summary, while there is excitement about Meghan's potential return to 'Suits,' doubts persist regarding her acting abilities, the feasibility of her demands, and the impact of her royal connections on her Hollywood career. Meghan's recent public appearances with Prince Harry are seen as strategic efforts to revitalize the Sussex brand, acknowledging the challenges they've faced over the past year, such as the Spotify deal's downfall and the cancellation of Archewell projects. Crisis management commentator Eric Schiffer noted the importance of success for the Sussex brand and commended Meghan's recent solo ventures as positive steps in this direction.
