Ralph Fiennes Endorses Cillian Murphy as Voldemort

News summary

Ralph Fiennes, known for his iconic portrayal of Voldemort in the Harry Potter films, has endorsed Cillian Murphy as a potential successor for the role in HBO's upcoming television adaptation of the series. Fiennes expressed his approval during an appearance on Bravo’s 'Watch What Happens Live', praising Murphy as ‘a fantastic actor’ and considering him a ‘wonderful suggestion’ for the part. Speculation around Murphy's casting follows Warner Bros.' announcement of the series, which aims to faithfully adapt J.K. Rowling’s novels with a new cast. Fiennes’ support adds weight to fan campaigns advocating for Murphy, an Oscar-winning actor known for roles in 'Peaky Blinders' and 'Oppenheimer'. Despite rumors, no official casting decisions have been made, and discussions for other key roles, like Dumbledore, are ongoing with actors such as Mark Rylance being considered. The series is part of Warner Bros.' strategy to keep the Harry Potter franchise alive for new audiences while the original films remain accessible globally.
