The British actor played Voldemort in five of the Harry Potter movies, first appearing in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire in 2005.
Now it’s been announced that HBO is rebooting the popular series, and rather than films it’s going to be made into a TV series.
Fans have been wondering whether Ralph Fiennes would be up for reprising his role as Voldemort in the TV series, and the answer is a flat “no” from him.
“No question about it,” he told Variety in a recent interview to promote his new film Conclave.
There’s been some buzz about Cork actor Cillian Murphy to portray the famous villain, who Ralph Fiennes is a fan of.
“Cillian is a fantastic actor,” the 61-year-old actor said, “That’s a wonderful suggestion. I would be all in favor of Cillian. Yeah.”
Question is now, is Cillian himself up for the role?
