New Role for Matthew Goode in ‘Fortitude’

Picture above and information from IMDb:-

The real life story about the single most successful piece of orchestrated espionage in modern day history, certainly the greatest secret mission of the Second World War.

Information from ‘Deadline’ :-

EXCLUSIVE: Simon Westā€™s (Con Air) World War II espionage action-adventureĀ FortitudeĀ began principal photography on September 8 in London and has assembled an eye-catching cast. The ensemble comprises Matthew Goode (The Imitation Game), Ed Skrein (Jurassic World: Rebirth), Jordi MollĆ  (Mobland), Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon), Art Malik (True Lies), Lukas Haas (Inception), Adrian Topol (Franz + Polina), Emilio Sakraya (Sixty Minutes), Paul Anderson (Peaky Blinders), Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) andĀ Nicolas CageĀ (Con Air).

The movie is based on the true story of British Intelligence operatives using unprecedented strategic operations to fool Nazi leadership and help change the course of World War II. With historical consultation from Joshua Levine (Dunkirk), the film follows the brilliance of British Army officers Dudley Clarke and Thomas Argyll ā€œTarā€ Robertson, who deployed an elaborate web of deception campaigns including fictitious armies, fake military equipment and a network of double agents to mislead Nazi Intelligence. Among them was Yugoslavian playboy Dusko Popov, a real-life double agent who is said to have inspired Ian Flemingā€™s James Bond character.

This new role for Matthew Goode reunites him with Alice Eve (Ordeal by Innocence) and Ben Kingsley (Self/Less)

Matthew Goode confirms he’s not in the final Downton Abbey movie

Information from Radio Times – 19th May 2025 [Extract]

Downton Abbey’s Matthew Goode confirms he’s not in final movie ā€“ and reveals why it might be for the best

Matthew Goode has confirmed that he won’t be in the anticipated third Downton Abbey film, The Grand Finale, adding that it’s probably a “good thing” his character Henry Talbot won’t be anywhere to be seen.

Speaking to Radio Times magazine in next week’s issue ahead of the release of Netflix’s Department Q, the actor was asked why he wasn’t in the second film and isn’t billed as being in the third.

He revealed: “I was unavailable for the second because I was doing The Offer. Then [for the third] I was shooting this. But I also buggered my knee, and I had to have an operation.

“That takes weeks to get over, so I was never going to be able to do it. And letā€™s face it, he was edging towards becoming a bit of a wet lettuce. So maybe itā€™s a good thing.”

Goode had starred in the original Downton Abbey TV series through seasons 5 and 6, going on to star in the first film in 2019.

Throughout his time in the franchise, he married Mary (Michelle Dockery) and the pair had their happily-ever-after ā€“ but we’re left to fill that in for ourselves, seeing as Goode hasn’t featured in the most recent film.

Goode is set to star as Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck in Scottish crime drama Department Q on Netflix.

Based on the series of 10 novels by Danish author Jussi Adler-Olsen, the synopsis for the new drama reads: “DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague.

“His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young pc dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit.”

It continues: “The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove.

“So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best ā€“ rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.”
