Ralph Fiennes, the actor who portrayed Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, spoke about rumors that Cillian Murphy could play the character in the TV series reboot.
“Cillian is a fantastic actor. That’s a wonderful suggestion. I’d be totally for Cillian. Yes,” Fiennes told host Andy Cohen on his show Watch What Happens Live, according to a report from Variety magazine.
Murphy, who is known for his role in the series Peaky Blinders and recently won an Oscar for his performance in Oppenheimer, is being considered for the role in the series to be produced by HBO.
“The series will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter book series by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling,” Warner Bros said in a statement released last year.
“The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fans, full of magical details and beloved characters that Harry Potter fans have adored for over twenty-five years.”
“Each season will bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences worldwide, while the original films, classics, and beloved works will remain at the core of the franchise and will continue to be available globally.”
