When the Musketeers came to an end after 3 years in August 2016, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Porthos (Howard Charles), Cardinal Richelieu (Peter Capaldi), Aramis (Santiago Cabrera) and Athos (Tom Burke). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.

Would a Musketeers reunion disappoint people?

The Musketeers aired from 2014-2016 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Capaldi said he's not sure if the Musketeers would work today. “I don't want to see old Cardinal Richelieu,” he told a journalist (Capaldi turned 66 in April). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.

Still hoping for a Musketeers movie?

In a recent interview, Tom Burke said he can't imagine a Musketeers reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Alexandra Dowling (who played Queen Anne) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Musketeers movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Musketeers film, Santiago Cabrera stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
