According to a recent report, Ezra Miller is in talks about a role in a Harry Potter spin-off.
It has been reported that the 22-year-old actor who played the main character in the movie We Need to Talk About Kevin is in negotiations with Warner Bros. to play the role of Kredan in the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Variety reports that Ezra is the studio’s preferred choice to play the role, even though it has not been clarified how close the two sides are to agreeing to a deal.
Miller is already part of the DC universe as The Flash. This move will see him become part of another huge franchise.
The highly anticipated new movie will star Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne.
49-year-old author J K Rowling has written a script for the Harry Potter spin-off film. The story takes place 70 years before the arrival of Harry and his wizard friends at Hogwarts school.
Speaking about the movie, the writer recently explained: “Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for 17 years, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series but an extension of the wizarding world.”
In addition, a few crucial roles in the movie still need to be filled, such as Queenie, Tina’s younger sister, and Jacob, a rival of Newt Scamander’s.
Alison Sudol is reportedly the first choice for the role of Queenie. At the same time, Josh Gad and Michael Cera are being considered for the part of Jacob.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is set to hit cinemas in November 2016.
