English actor Ralph Fiennes, who starred in popular film Harry Potter as Lord Voldemort, has an idea about who should play the villain in the upcoming HBO series.
Speaking in a fresh interview, Fiennes named Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy as the actor who should play the role of Voldemort in the new television adaptation.
“Cillian is a fantastic actor,” Fiennes said while making an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live after a view suggested the 28 Days Later star. “That’s a wonderful suggestion. I would be all in favor of Cillian. Yeah.”
According to a report from Deadline, Ralph Fiennes first starred in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Voldemort in 2015. This was the fourth installment of the film saga. The Maid in Manhattan actor would then reprise his role in 2007’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 2009’s Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, and the two-part finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The Harry Potter TV series is due to hit HBO in 2026. Casey Bloys said the show would be “a faithful adaptation” of JK Rowling’s books and “dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”
Succession duo Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod have signed up as its writer and director, respectively. Gardiner will serve as showrunner and executive producer, and Mylod will direct multiple episodes and serve as executive producer.
Last month, information went viral that Framestore VFX was in talks to bring the magical world of Harry Potter back to life for the HBO series.
