The highly-anticipated F1 movie has stirred up controversy by sidelining Bridgerton star Simone Ashley in a surprising move that has left fans and critics baffled. Despite being listed in the star-studded cast alongside big names like Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem, Ashley’s role in the film has been drastically reduced, with rumors suggesting she doesn’t even have a speaking part.
Director Joseph Kosinski has finally addressed the speculation, revealing that certain storylines had to be cut from the final edit, leading to Ashley’s character being significantly downsized. While Kosinski praised Ashley’s talent and expressed a desire to work with her again, fans are left wondering why such a promising actress was underutilized in the film.
Critics who got an early sneak peek at the movie have raised eyebrows at Ashley’s diminished presence, questioning the decision to sideline a talent of her caliber. Despite not having any speaking parts, Ashley shared her gratitude for the experience, highlighting the thrill of attending real F1 races during filming.
As the release date for the F1 movie draws near, audiences are eager to see how the star-studded cast, including Ashley, will fare on the big screen. With the international premiere set for June 25, excitement is building for what promises to be a blockbuster event in the world of cinema.
