Overview
- Cillian Murphy told The Times he is “categorically not” playing Voldemort in HBO’s Harry Potter adaptation, addressing months of speculation.
- HBO has not announced a Voldemort casting; the rumor cycle intensified after a viral January clip of Ralph Fiennes remarking that Murphy would be a “very good choice.”
- Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man held its world premiere in Birmingham on March 2 and opens in select cinemas on March 6 before streaming on Netflix from March 20.
- Creator Steven Knight says the feature is set during World War II and draws on the real Operation Bernhard storyline, with claims that Tommy Shelby’s actions will decisively shape events.
- The film reunites Murphy with returning cast and introduces Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan and Tim Roth, and Knight says a follow-up series will begin shooting soon.
