In a recent interview with MTV, Dan Fogler and Alison Sudol spoke about their upcoming film set in the Potterverse. When asked about references to Albus Dumbledore made it the trailer, Fogler seems to have hinted at a younger version of the character returning to the screen:
“As the stories go along, you will hear mention of your favourite characters, and you may meet their young counterparts along the way.”
Dumbledore was played by Richard Harris in the first two films, until he sadly passed away in 2002 and was replaced by Sir Michael Gambon.
Given the timeline of the new film, it will be unlikely we will be seeing Gambon reprise the role, although anyone who has seen Ant-Man knows that if CGI can be used to make Michael Douglas look 40 again, then just about anything is possible with today’s de-ageing technology.
