\n\tCillian Murphy<\/a> is clearing things up about the future of the 28 Years Later franchise, as well as rumors he\u2019s going to be in the Harry Potter<\/a> series on HBO.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Peaky Blinders actor reprised his role of Jim in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple<\/a>, and a sequel is already in the works.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHope so!\u201d Murphy told The Times<\/a> about a follow-up film actually happening, adding, \u201cI\u2019m ready anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMurphy\u2019s name has also been thrown around to play Voldemort in the television adaptation of the fantasy book series, he said, \u201cI\u2019m categorically not.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor even mentioned that he didn\u2019t know his name was floating around to ploy the evil one, saying, \u201cBeing a personality is not what I am good at. But then existing in this world? Talking about yourself, going on f***ing red carpets? It\u2019s not healthy if you start to believe this shit, and I\u2019m really bad at it too. I\u2019m an incredibly average person, really.\u201d<\/p>\n
