here This, to me, confirms what other fans, including Heather Parrish have surmised – that Richard Armitage’s role is more than a cameo, albeit, it could/probably is a small small role.
I wonder why it is that a film that’s been underway in production for so many months has cast a character so late in the game? Or is it just that the announcement was delayed for unknown reasons? Have the writers added a bit that wasn’t there before? Did someone drop out? Is this role the reason that the Miles announcement was a misstep? Can anyone blame Armitage for ditching MIles for this, if that’s the case? Will Richard Armitage acknowledge the role on Twitter and silence those fans who are wailing over his own silence? Is Richard Armitage back in New York? Is he dressed warmly enough? Is he going to the Women’s March on Saturday?
I don’t know the answers to these questions. Maybe, if he has a chance to promote the film ( if he’s included, what with all those big names) we’ll learn some details.
The only answer I know is that Richard Armitage was not seen in Atlantic City in dealer school learning black jack. ‘Twas just a joke in light of his penchant for studying up on his roles. Too bad, because … hand porn.

Replying to your most urgent question, yes he’s probably warm enough, because we know from his appearance as a gift elf on that morning news show that he owns one of those fancy Canadian parkas.
Yes, this reply is a sarcastic joke on the ruminations of fans, in case anyone is unsure. I admit I ruminate, but usually not publicly. This time, I couldn’t resist Perry’s bait.
Thanks, Perry! It’s early afternoon, and you’ve already filled my LOL quota for the day!

If only we did’t feel the need to announce our sarcasm and jokes ahead of time ( or after)- but apparently, we do.Can a parka be fancy? Well, he’s a skier after all, so he probably has use of it on the slopes or apres ski. I haven’t checked yet, but I fear if he hasn’t said something himself on Twitter, a segment of fans is going to burst. It’s like the wailing wall out there. Glad to give a laugh.

Fancy Canadian parkas you mean that Canada Goose that every celebrity must wear along with the G on G Gucci belt I see on every actress around these days. What show was he a gift Elf on? The Today Show?

The thought that he may be playing a croupier brings unwelcome memories of John Bateman in Spooks.

I’d completely forgotten about that! He needs no lessons if they were to give him the right game – but alas, no casino in this pic, as I have been advised.

Just because he wasn’t ‘seen’, doesn’t mean he wasn’t ‘there’ (in Atlantic City – or even Las Vegas):-)
I would like to hear it from the horse’s mouth, but perhaps he’s under some contractual obligation to remain ‘under cover’ 😉

Yes, Mermaid – but I made up the whole thing just to make a joke. Also, it turns out that the heist in Ocean’s 8 doesn’t involve a casino and gambling is not legal in New York City ( though there is a small, shabby Casino in Yonkers)

I know – I’m actually very amused by your post 🙂 sorry if it didn’t come across that way.
Didn’t know gambling isn’t legal in NYC.

LOL -that’s the difficulty of trying sarcasm, irony and parody in print. Yup – no gambling in NY except specially designated places ( like race racks) in New York State, and I only know of that one, though there might be other state sanctioned casinos. This one is at the old Yonkers Race Track.

Well, if the necklace heist is at the Met gala, maybe Richard’s character is a competing thief for nicking the necklace? And neither the Ocean’s Eight gals nor Richard as thief knew of each other’s existence. But they end up teaming up to thwart security. *wink*
