Here's Who You Can Expect to See When Downton Abbey Hits the Big Screen

The beautiful Elizabeth McGovern will reprise her role as American heiress Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham, in the upcoming movie project.

Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham — a fan favorite and Cora's sassy mother-in-law — will appear in the movie, despite Maggie Smith's initial hesitance.

Michelle Dockery's character, Lady Mary Crawley — Cora's oldest daughter and arguably the series' protagonist, despite her constant scheming — is another member of the Crawley family set to appear in the movie.

Mary's younger sister, Lady Edith Crawley (played by Laura Carmichael), has also been confirmed for the movie cast, and we can't wait to see what happens now that Edith's bad luck in love has finally changed (and now that she'll outrank Mary).

Anna Bates, the always affable lady maid to Mary Crawley and new mother, will appear in the movie, played by Joanne Froggatt.

Hugh Bonneville will reprise his role as the likable head of the Crawley household, Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham.

Irish actor Allen Leech (in addition to his upcoming role in Bohemian Rhapsody) will appear in the movie as Tom Branson, the former family chauffeur, who returns to the Crawley estate with his daughter, Sybbie, after his wife, youngest Crawley daughter Sybil, dies during childbirth.

Though kitchen maid Daisy (played by Sophie McShera) moves to Mr. Mason's farm at the end of the final season, it has been confirmed that she will be appear in the movie (and hopefully back in the kitchen with Mrs. Patmore!).

Due to Mr. Carson's struggle with palsy and his forced resignation, the formerly duplicitous Thomas Barrow (played by Robert James-Collier) is reintroduced at the end of season six as the new butler, which is the role he'll take on in the upcoming movie.

Brendan Coyle, who plays Anna's husband, the chronically unlucky John Bates, will return in the movie after welcoming his first child with Anna at the end of season six.

Downton Abbey's prim but sweet housekeeper, Mrs. Hughes, will appear in the film, the role reprised by Phyllis Logan.

Jim Carter, who plays former butler Mr. Carson, is confirmed to appear in the movie alongside his new wife, Mrs. Hughes, and we'll get the opportunity to see how his palsy has changed his relationship.

Isobel Crawley (play by Penelope Wilton) will return as the mother of Mary's deceased first husband, Matthew, and newly married to Lord Dickie Merton.

Downton's perfectionist cook and mother figure to Daisy, Mrs. Patmore, will return in the movie, played by Lesley Nicol.
