Warner boss David Zaslav has only recently announced that he plans to bring new “Harry Potter” films to theaters in the future – whether it will be a remake of the series or “Harry Potter 8” is not yet known and also depends. much depends on further negotiations with JK Rowling. A star from the series would definitely be on board again.
The actor of the “Harry Potter” villain Voldemort Ralph Fiennes talked to on the red carpet at the New York premiere of The Menu, in which he plays crazy celebrity chef Julian Slowik. When asked if he would reprise his role as the noseless wizard villain, Fiennes replied quite bluntly, “Of course, of course. […] No question”.
This is a direct answer from The King’s Man: The Beginning star. It’s clear that the actor had a lot of fun playing the wizard-world-threatening villain. Fiennes first appeared as the Dark Lord in the fourth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and continued to play the role in three other films in the fantasy franchise.
What could a return look like?
This unequivocal answer from Ralph Fiennes should certainly inspire Harry Potter fans – especially given the impending remake and unsatisfactory ending to the “Fantastic Beasts” series, which Warner has now almost certainly canceled due to not investing enough money in the series . the cash registers.
But how could Ralph Fiennes return? Voldemort was finally defeated in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. An appearance in a possible “Harry Potter 8” in a flashback or a dream sequence is of course always possible.
On the other hand, we find a renewed involvement of the actor in a possible reboot extremely unrealistic – after all, Warner would make a direct link with the old film series that they would like to distinguish themselves with a reboot.
