First look at Downton Abbey new movie and new characters

Downton Abbey fans have been given a teaser of the new movie ahead of its release on April 29.

Downton Abbey: A New Era also welcomes new characters.

The new film sees the Crawley family travel from Grantham estate to the South of France, where Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess has inherited a villa from someone in her “mysterious past.”

New characters including Laura Haddock’s Myrna Dalgleish appear. It seems she is a movie star and the teaser suggests Downton will be welcoming film crews to the house in the movie.

Other actors including Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery will also star.

Dominic West also looks to be taking a starring role with assistant cook Daisy Mason holding a magazine cut-out of the character.

And Lord Grantham talks about the movie within the film as "Lady Mary's film", indicating that his eldest daughter may be involved with it.

She is seen with a script in her hands as Myrna Dalgleish deliberately drops a vase in the background.
