Meghan Markle’s quest for superhero movie role met with derision by Joan Collins

Meghan Markle has been causing a stir with her proposed plan to land a role in a massive Hollywood movie – but Joan Collins doesn't think much of it.

The Duchess of Sussex, who alongside husband Prince Harry will be making her last public appearance as a senior member of the royal family tomorrow, is said to have instructed her agent to get her a part in a superhero film.

But when Dame Joan was asked to offer some advice to the former Suits star, it was met with derision.

"Ha! You've gotta be joking!" the Dynasty actress laughed as she was asked by paparazzi about Meghan's chance of making it big in Hollywood.
