Luke Grimes Says He Has Not Spoken With Kevin Costner

Luke Grimes says he has not spoken with Kevin Costner since they stopped working together on Yellowstone, describing the lack of contact as a result of busy lives rather than a personal dispute. Grimes also said he doubts Costner will return as John Dutton in the Yellowstone spinoff Marshals, though he does not know whether an appearance will happen. Grimes discussed the former co-stars’ relationship in an interview on October 5. He played Kayce Dutton, John’s son, for five seasons alongside Costner, who portrayed the family patriarch. Grimes said the two actors had not spoken since their work on the series ended, adding that both were busy and that life moved on. Asked about a possible return by Costner, Grimes said it would be welcome but that he doubted it would happen. He emphasized that he was uncertain. No confirmed appearance by Costner in Marshals is established in the available account. Grimes also offered a preference for a possible flashback involving Kayce. Rather than bringing back John Dutton, he said he would favor a scene involving Kayce’s wife, Monica, because he believed it would be more poignant for the character.
