If there is any Downton Abbey character likely to toy with our hearts and dash our hopes, it’s Lady Mary Crawley. But just when you thought you were done getting emotional whiplash from the Crawley family, here comes another juicy twist. Michelle Dockery—a.k.a. Lady Mary herself—is running around dropping hints of a Downton Abbey movie. What more is there to explore now that everyone is either dead or enjoying their happily ever after?

Speaking with The Telegraph, Dockery said, vaguely, “I think there is potential for a [Downton Abbey] film. That is something I would wholeheartedly consider, so we will see. It may not be over yet.” That’s hardly a signed, sealed, delivered contract, but her open attitude may come as good news to series creator Julian Fellowes who also has dreams of a movie. He told IndieWire:

I hope there will be a film. There is an audience for a film. I’d structure a narrative with lots of things happening, but we would need a kind of unity to make a feature, which is a challenge for me. It would be a bigger canvas: a riot could be a real riot, the ball a real ball. I would like that, I think it would be fun. But there’s a time and then everyone’s moved on.

Of all the surviving characters on Downton Abbey, Lady Mary would seem one of the most important to lock down and Dockery herself will likely be one of the hardest gets. Though some of her co-stars have been very vocal about how hard it is out there for a former butler, Dockery has a number of post-Downton TV gigs lined up including the sultry Good Behavior for TNT and a western called Godless for Netflix.

But as hard as Dockery may be to schedule, at least she’s willing to participate in a Downton film. “The thing that I miss the most are my cast members,” she told The Telegraph of her eagerness to return. Meanwhile, Dame Maggie Smith, has said in no uncertain terms that if Downton were to carry on it would have to do so without her signature dry wit. “I can’t,” she told Graham Norton of her possible future involvement in the franchise. “What age would she be? By the time we finished [the Dowager Countess] must have been about 110. It couldn’t go on and on, it just didn’t make sense.”

So the Dowager is out but Lady Mary (and, we can presume) Carson are in. How about you? Would you see a Downton Abbey movie without Maggie Smith?
