Very little has been revealed about the synopsis of the movie. but with the release of the four new character posters featuring Mary (Michelle Dockery), Edith (Laura Carmichael), Andy (Michael C. Fox), and Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) it is now more real than ever that WE ARE FINALLY GETTING THE MOVIE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!
