In an interview with Josh Horowitz on his 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast this week, the actor revealed and told, “I would probably want to go with like, Sirius [Black] or [Remus] Lupin,”.

In the wizards series, Gary Oldman played Sirius Black while David Thewlis played Remus Lupin.

“Those were always the two characters that I was like,They’re great.”

“And also, I’m obviously biased by my experience of filming those scenes with those people, and they’re like some of my favourite memories,” he added. “I thought those guys were really cool.”

While there has been no confirmation about a Harry Potter reboot being in the works, although recently there were some reports about HBO Max planning to make a series around the JK Rowling books.
