Around the new “Harry Potter” series being filmed by HBO, fans are excitedly sharing their opinions. One of the most discussed questions is who might embody the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, writes IMDb.
Warner Bros. studio has already stated that an actor has been chosen for this role, but for now this information is being kept secret. Nevertheless, among fans, three names are mentioned as the most serious contenders.
The first option is Nicholas Hoult. Last year, he auditioned for several roles in the original Harry Potter films, even for the main character. Now there is speculation that the British actor might portray Voldemort in the new series.
The second candidate is Cillian Murphy. His role as Dr. Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) in the film “Batman Begins” serves as a vivid example for fans. Murphy has repeatedly shown his skill in expressing evil with a certain subtlety.
The third contender is Austin Butler. He proved his ability to play complex, even villainous characters through his lead role in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” and as Feyd-Rautha in “Dune: Part Two.” This makes him a serious competitor for the role of Voldemort.
