Lily James has suggested she is in talks over a Downton Abbey film.

James, right, who played Lady Rose, said at the Los Angeles premiere of Baby Driver that discussions over a feature film were “definitely” under way.

When pressed if she was involved in those discussions, she replied: “Um, maybe.”

The ITV period drama’s creator, Julian Fellowes, also said this week that it was “pretty likely” that the film would be produced.

James, 28, stars as the love interest of a getaway driver in Edgar Wright’s latest film.

Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx also feature in the line-up.

Hamm, 46, said he has been very lucky to have worked with “some of the best” British writers: “I’ve been very, very fortunate to get to work with some really, really talented people on that side.”

Foxx, 49, has said he helped a young Ed Sheeran by letting him stay on his sofa for several weeks to work on his music and quickly knew the British musician was going to be “something special”.

Baby Driver is out in UK cinemas on June 28.
