Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will officially step down as full time working members of the Royal Family on March 31st. Though they're still working royals, they've been living in Canada full time since November and preparing for a life of financial independence from the crown. Prince Harry accepted a speaking gig at an exclusive JP Morgan event in Miami, while Meghan signed a voiceover with Disney. According to The Daily Mail, Meghan is now ready to find her next project.

“Meghan is planning a series of meetings in Hollywood,” a source told The Daily Mail. “She has already done the voice-over for Disney and now the word is out that she’s looking for a superhero film, as a voice-over or even on screen.”

Meghan is reportedly represented by Hollywood agent Nick Collins—who lasted represented the Duchess when she was starring on the legal drama Suits—and he's been swamped with offers over the past two months. "He has said she wants her return to acting to be part of an ensemble cast in something like a superhero film," the source continued.

"[Meghan] knows she can't carry a film as an actress," the insider explained. "People won't be able to get past the fact she's Meghan Markle. But she's determined to act again and she thinks a big, ensemble film is the way to go. Something that pays big but which doesn't put her front and centre."

Meghan is reportedly inspired by other actresses who have decided to star in super hero films over the years. "Pretty much every A-list actress including Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry have starred in superhero movies," the source said. "There used to be a certain stigma attached to Marvel films but now they are the biggest market in the world. That's what Meghan wants."

A lot is still up in the air for Harry and Meghan as they head into their 12 month trial period as non-royals. We'll just have to wait and see what they do next.
