Regé-Jean Page, known for his breakout role as Simon Basset in Netflix's Bridgerton, has addressed the topic of returning to the show.
In a recent interview promoting his new film Black Bag, Page revealed that while he has immense support for the cast, he is currently focusing on his evolving career rather than a return to Bridgerton.
“I’m very happy to support everyone who’s in the show,” Page shared with Entertainment Tonight. “Everyone’s finding fantastic success, but with the show and personal projects, I’m just super happy to say that.” His comments highlight his ongoing support for the Bridgerton cast, despite shifting his focus to other projects.
Although he has frequently been linked to the idea of playing the next James Bond, Page clarified that he’s not actively pursuing the role. Instead, the actor is focusing on his current roles, including his appearance in the upcoming spy thriller Black Bag.
Following his success in Bridgerton, Page’s career has flourished, with prominent roles in The Gray Man (2022) alongside Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) alongside Chris Pine. In Black Bag, he stars as Col. James Stokes, alongside Cate Blanchett, Pierce Brosnan, and Naomie Harris.
While Bridgerton fans eagerly await news of Simon Basset’s return, Page’s current focus is on his rapidly expanding career. With his latest projects gaining attention, it seems the actor is ready to explore new horizons.
