Scarlett Johansson Cast As Prince Archie In Upcoming Biopic

By Scott Slute

Hollywood - It was announced this morning that, at the royal families behest, the role of Prince Archie will be played by Scarlet Johansson in the upcoming Dreamworks production based on Meghan Markel and Prince Harry.

Slated to release in 2023, few details have been released on the film other than the casting of Johansson, which the royal family insisted on.

“Her majesty would only give us the rights to the Harry and Meghan story if we promised to cast Scarlett in the role of baby Archie,” said Dreamworks president Margie Cohen, “She told me she was a fan of Scarlett’s past body of work and thought she would be perfect in the role of her great-grandson.”

Though just announced, Johansson is already facing backlash for the casting, with many claiming she is “too old” for the role.

“This is the exact problem that has plagued Hollywood for a century, and continues even to this day,” the Harold’s resident Hollywood reporter Trisha Blanc tells us, “Women are constantly pigeon-holed by their age. We need to end this harmful stereotype that women over 30 are “too old” for these roles! What kind of message is that sending to young girls?”

The studio also revealed the film will have a very surprising ending involving a tunnel, after Buckingham palace gave them insider details on their upcoming plans for the royal couple.
