The New York Times chatted with MNPP faves Alessandro Nivola and
André Holland over the weekend on their new series
The Big Cigar, about the unexpected friendship between Black Panther co-founder Huey P. Newton and Hollywood producer Bert Schneider back in the 1970s, premiering on Apple+ on May 17th --
read it here. But wait! There's more Nivola News! I wish there was enough Nivola News for us to have a weekly column titled just that -- Nivola News. I could make a logo and everything. Anyway he works enough that it feels like it sometimes, bless him. Anyway
Deadline reported this morning that Mr. Nivola has joined the cast of the third
Downton Abbey movie, which is happening. Not really a surprise, given that the last movie did well (and was pretty delightful to boot.) He joins the cast along with Paul Giamatti, Joely Richardson, Simon Russell Beale (who I can't believe hasn't been on the show previously) and
Arty Froushan -- I knew that last name was familiar and sure enough I already followed
him on Instagram because...
... he's one of the super hot guys on
House of the Dragon. In fact he was one of the super hot GAY guys on
House of the Dragon -- if you need a recap of that storyline
click here; to be honest I'd completely forgotten all of that myself. I am going to need a real recap on that series when it returns later this year! Anyway I think Froushan himself is gay but don't quote me on that -- his social media and some articles seem to point in that direction but I couldn't find a definitive quote before my laziness took over. It's a real ticking time bomb, my laziness -- answers best show up fast or I'm out! Anyway whoever he's fucking in real life Froushan is a hot one...
... and I hope
Downton takes advantage of that. Where did we last leave our favorite hot gay footman Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier)? I can't remember how the last movie ended. He was flirting with both the actor and the King's dresser? Am I mashing different movies up in my head? Anyway just throw Alessandro Nivola in there and bring back Charlie Cox's gay character (and as seen below Froushan is in the new season of
Daredevil after all so Charlie can just jump on his back, ahem, and ride over) and then have the entire third
Downton movie be a bunch of gays fighting and fucking threir way through the 1940s. We've earned it dammit!

barrow left downton to be an ‘assistant’ to the dashing movie star guy dexter
Yes, and isn't Charlie Cox's character dead? Isn't he the rapey guy who died in Mary's bed?
No Theo James died in Mary's bed. CC was sleeping with Barrow, they had a hot kiss, and then he disappeared never to be heard from again. He was a fancy upstairs man, I don't remember specifically who, but he broke Barrow's poor little heart.
CC's character was a Duke, I think, & he was going to marry a woman (not that that was known right away) so he went to Downton to get the letters that Barrow had so no one could know about them having been together.
Yikes, how did I confuse Theo James with Charlie Cox? I feel like they both need to punish me for that.
Pretty sure that last solo photo is Lucas Bravo, not Arty F.
