Matthew Goode confirmed for Downton Abbey movie – but he says he will only be "popping in at the end"
What does his appearance mean for Henry Talbot and his wife Lady Mary?
Matthew Goode has revealed he will be appearing in the Downton Abbey movie – but not for long.
The actor starred as Henry Talbot in the ITV series, and gave us the happily-ever-after storyline we were hoping for with his character's marriage to Lady Mary.

The last time we visited Downton, Lady Mary was pregnant with their first child and Henry had set up an automobile shop with Tom Branson (Allen Leech) named Talbot and Branson Motors.
So you'd expect him to have a pretty meaty role in the upcoming feature film.
But Goode tells Radio Times: "I'm just popping in at the end, which is a nice way to do it."
