“Controversy Surrounds Megan Markle’s Potential Role in The Bodyguard Remake”

Reports have surfaced suggesting that Megan Markle, alongside her husband Prince Harry, is exploring opportunities to revive her acting career.

The couple, who recently signed an 80 million pound deal with Netflix, may be eyeing a leading role in a sequel to the iconic 1992 film, The Bodyguard.

However, the news has sparked a wave of skepticism and criticism from various sources.

Social media platforms were abuzz with reactions after an interview discussing Markle's potential involvement in The Bodyguard remake was shared on Twitter.

Many netizens expressed doubt that Markle could fill the shoes of Whitney Houston, who portrayed the character in the original film.

Even Bobby Brown, Houston's ex-husband, openly stated that Markle is not suitable for the legendary role, emphasizing the irreplaceable star quality Houston possessed.

When questioned about Markle's suitability for the role, Brown, a Grammy Award-winning singer himself, responded dismissively, stating that he couldn't see anything in her that would make her a good fit.

Brown, who was married to Houston for 15 years and shares a daughter with her, holds a deep admiration for his late ex-wife and believes that her talent as an entertainer was unparalleled.

Aside from Brown, the producers of the original film, including actor Kevin Costner, have also expressed surprise and disbelief at the rumors surrounding Markle's potential casting.

Costner, who not only starred in The Bodyguard but also served as one of its producers, had a strong belief in Houston's ability to bring the character to life due to her exceptional singing talent.

He envisioned the role being filled by a singer rather than an actress playing a singer, which is Markle's background.

Costner's artistic decisions are well-known for being firm, leading many to question why he would consider changing his stance more than 25 years later, especially considering the success of the original film.

Sources close to Costner suggest that he believes actresses like Zendaya and Chloe Bailey, who possess both acting and singing abilities, would be better suited for the role.

Additionally, there is untapped talent in Broadway and the West that could also bring a fresh perspective to the character.

Critics argue that Markle, who would be in her mid-40s if cast, is too old and lacks the talent and glamour associated with the role.

They highlight the stark contrast between Markle's limited acting credits and Whitney Houston's illustrious career.

Some even go as far as to claim that casting Markle would be an insult to Houston's legacy.

As the debate continues, it remains uncertain whether Markle will indeed make a return to acting in The Bodyguard remake.

However, the controversy surrounding her potential involvement has shed light on the challenges and expectations that come with stepping into the shoes of a beloved icon like Whitney Houston.
