Entertainment fans, rejoice! The first glimpse of Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II in ‘The Crown’ is finally here. Known for her role as Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter series, Staunton is set to take on the iconic role of the queen for the show’s final two seasons. Following the impressive portrayals by Olivia Colman and Claire Foy, fans are already expressing their excitement on social media over this casting choice.
On Friday, Netflix shared the initial image of Staunton in character. The upcoming season is expected to delve into significant historical events, including the tumultuous divorce of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, as well as the passing of notable figures such as Diana, the Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret, the queen’s sister.
Staunton, who also featured in the Downton Abbey film, was announced as the new queen in January 2020. “Imelda is an astonishing talent and will be a fantastic successor to Claire Foy and Olivia Colman,” stated show creator Peter Morgan. Staunton expressed her honor in joining such a remarkable creative team and bringing ‘The Crown’ to its conclusion.
Cindy Holland, Netflix’s vice president of original content, voiced her full support of Morgan’s vision and expressed her eagerness to see how Staunton and the cast will conclude this landmark series spectacularly. Alongside Staunton, the cast will also see new faces, with Jonathan Pryce stepping in as Prince Philip, Elizabeth Debicki taking over as Diana, and Lesley Manville replacing Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret.
