Cillian Murphy as Voldemort?

Amid rumors of a potential HARRY POTTER TV adaptation, Cillian Murphy finds himself at the center of speculation about playing Voldemort – while simultaneously juggling an impressive lineup of high-profile projects.

Ralph Fiennes, the original Voldemort in the HARRY POTTER film series, has enthusiastically endorsed Murphy for the role. “Cillian is a fantastic actor,” Fiennes told Watch What Happens Live, calling the potential casting “a wonderful suggestion.”

Murphy’s packed schedule includes an upcoming zombie sequel, 28 YEARS LATER, Danny Boyle’s return to his iconic zombie franchise. The film, scheduled for release on June 20, 2025, will also feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer, reuniting Murphy with Fiennes.

He’s also preparing for the PEAKY BLINDERS film, continuing his journey as Thomas Shelby in the acclaimed crime series that made him a household name. While negotiations are still early for the potential HARRY POTTER villain role, Murphy’s experience playing antagonists – including Scarecrow in the BATMAN films and a terrorist in RED EYE – makes him an intriguing potential choice for Voldemort.

The proposed HBO series is expected to be a fresh adaptation of the beloved books, with no plans to include the original film’s cast members like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or Rupert Grint.

With his versatility and proven track record of compelling performances, Murphy continues to be one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors, seamlessly moving between intense dramatic roles and potential franchise entries.
