Although Michelle Dockery branched out — with the likes of "Good Behavior" and "Godless," in particular — Lady Mary was never far from her mind, and, in 2019, Dockery returned for the "Downton Abbey" movie. Hilariously, because the actor had so much experience in the interim playing American characters, she admitted to InStyle, "When we filmed ... I think [my character] Lady Mary started off being a little too posh." The film was well-received by critics, achieving an 84% rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, while it took in a staggering $193,795,496 at the global box office, per Box Office Mojo.
Luckily, despite having to find her way around the accent again, Dockery told InStyle that returning to Lady Mary was a piece of cake. There were three years between the show and the movie, but the actor said, "It felt like no time had passed at all." Moreover, the "Downton Abbey" movie gave Dockery a new appreciation for the project. She shared, "[I realized] I'd taken some things for granted. Like driving up to that house [the setting for 'Downton Abbey'], it honestly took my breath away."
