JK Rowling’s Harry Potter movie franchise starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and other actors in pivotal roles has been a part of our childhood. Now, Harry Potter is set to make a comeback with a Reboot version as a TV show with more details and direct references to the novels for the modern audience. Other than Daniel as HP, Ralph Fiennes, who played Voldemort, was widely appreciated for portraying such a dark character.
However, it seems if not Ralph, then there’s another actor who is popular from the movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean is up to do the role. Reports have it that Bill Nighy tops the race with Ralph in becoming the Dark Lord in the Harry Potter reboot. Scroll ahead and get to the scoop!
While the Potterheads and audiences are eagerly waiting for the Harry Potter series release, it seems the production is taking more time than usual amid the Hollywood Strike and JK Rowling’s controversies, which is why we don’t even know who is going to play which iconic character. And while there has been a tough competition to see who might become Voldemort, Bill Nighy from Pirates of the Caribbean seems to win the race.
According to The Herald, Bill Nighy has become everyone’s favorite for playing Voldemort in the Harry Potter reboot. However, did you know he was almost at the edge of becoming the new Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour, as he met with the book description so much?
The fans have been divided between Bill Nighy and Ralph Fiennes. While a part of them wants a new face to take over Voldemort’s character, the other part cannot shake off the fact that no one could have done the Dark Lord’s character better than Ralph Fiennes. And not only the fans, Ralph himself wants to make a comeback as Voldemort.
In a conversation with The Variety on the premiere of his film The Menu, Ralph Fiennes shared his opinion if HBO asks him to reprise his role as Voldemort and said, “Sure, of course. No question about it.”
We don’t know who is going to reprise the role for now, so all we can do is wait to read HBO’s announcement about the cast who will take over the Harry Potter reboot series.
