Charlie Cox likely won't return to Downton Abbey

Actor Charlie Cox, known for his role in *Daredevil: Born Again*, is unlikely to return to the *Downton Abbey* franchise, despite a new film releasing in September. Cox played Philip Villiers, Duke of Crowborough, in the first season of *Downton Abbey*, a character with a brief storyline involving Lady Mary Crawley and a romantic entanglement with Thomas Barrow. His role was minor. The article suggests that due to the character's limited presence and the film's release date approaching, a return for Cox is improbable, though not entirely impossible.
