The actor stepping into the role of Lord Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter series has some big shoes to fill after Ralph Fiennes’ memorable performance as the villain for six years.
But while Fiennes has expressed a preference for Cillian Murphy to be his successor, the Irish actor has shut down speculation that he will be involved in the franchise.
Online whispers linking Murphy to the role began six months, ago after a scooper claimed to know someone working in the Harry Potter show as a background actor.
