Phoebe Dynevor's character travels the world
This image serves to highlight just how out of element Maya really is. and as she delves into the dangerous world of espionage. There are many ways in which she feels isolated from the world she knows, especially considering the fact that she mostly travels alone during her mission. However, the sudden discovery of her father's true identity has likely made her restless and unsure of who to trust, which is compounded by the fact that she is constantly surrounded by strangers.
This feeling is accentuated by the distance she is from her home territory. Although the Bridgerton star is English, and her co-star Rhys Ifans is Welsh, their accents in the trailer for Heritage seems to suggest that both characters are Americans, even though they spend very little time in the United States throughout the story. Instead of, Heritage takes them far away, to countries like Egypt, India and South Korea.
