Cillian Murphy Addresses Rumors About Playing Voldemort in Harry Potter

Cillian Murphy has put an end to the rumors that he will be playing Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series. Despite speculation fueled by Ralph Fiennes’ comments, Murphy confirmed in a recent interview with The Times that he will not be taking on the iconic role.

The series has already announced several cast members, including newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout, and Arabella Stanton as the central children, and Janet McTeer, John Lithgow, Nick Frost, and others in adult roles.

While discussing the series, Murphy also touched on his return as Tommy Shelby in the Peaky Blinders film. He reflected on the journey of portraying the character for over a quarter of his life and highlighted the success of the show, crediting its longevity to the novel-like quality of TV as a medium.

The Peaky Blinders film, titled “The Immortal Man,” will hit cinemas on March 6 before landing on Netflix on March 20. Despite the excitement around these projects, Murphy made it clear that he will not be stepping into the shoes of Voldemort anytime soon.

It’s refreshing to hear directly from the actor himself, setting the record straight and teasing what’s to come in his future projects. Stay tuned for more updates on Cillian Murphy’s latest ventures in the world of entertainment!
