Practically three years in the past, Harry Potter fan artwork of Andrew Garfield as a younger Remus Lupin surfaced on the web. Now, with the brand new HBO collection popping out and a renewed curiosity in casting, the actor has lastly responded to the concept of him taking part in the function of the beloved Hogwarts professor.
In a GQ response video, Garfield went on TikTok to answer to fan feedback on content material about him. Whereas viewing an older clip of himself, a selected put up caught the Spider-Man actor’s eye. A person merely said, “REMUS LUPIN???” Garfield then revealed that he had solely not too long ago begun to look at the Harry Potter movies, saying, “I’m very late to the sport”. Coincidentally, he claimed he had simply completed the third film, Prisoner of Azkaban, the place Lupin made his first look.
In an older interview with BBC, after theories swirled about Garfield being solid, he was requested whether or not he would play Lupin. And, like he does with any rumors, he answered in a really cryptic and non-committal manner. “I’ll take into account any function supplied, how’s that?“
Whereas HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter present has not formally introduced who they’ll solid as Lupin, it is unlikely that Garfield can be the one to tackle the function. Because the present is basing every season off of 1 ebook, the werewolf will not seem till season 3. Within the books, Lupin is supposed to be in his early to mid 30s. And, with Garfield being 42 years outdated, by the point season 3 comes out in 2028 on the earliest, he can be just a little too outdated to play the character.
This is likely to be disappointing information to followers who need to see him within the new Harry Potter collection. Nevertheless, it is usually uncertain that anybody was actually anticipating it. Hopefully, no matter who HBO casts to play the wizarding world’s iconic werewolf, he will likely be an ideal match for the function.
