Career
A star of many period dramas and romantic comedies, Hugh Grant has also appeared in fantasy and science-fiction genre movies, including The Lair of the White Worm, Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death, Cloud Atlas, and Paddington 2.

He was reported on March 2, 2021, to have signed onto the Dungeons & Dragons movie, together with Sophia Lillis. In an interview with Screen Daily published on June 24, Grant said he hadn't played Dungeons & Dragons before but the movie, as a "great big, expensive Hollywood blockbuster" offered the chance to do something different and said "But more than that I laughed at the script. It's hard to please me, but it had real charm and moved me. I was certainly not expecting that." He could neither confirm nor deny reports that he'd be playing the villain.

Filming began in May and Hugh Grant was seen in costume at Wells Cathedral on June 12 and at Carrickfergus Castle on June 28 and 29.
