It’s not the answer Harry Potter fans were hoping for, but it also doesn’t seem as though Radcliffe has completely closed the door on the possibility of someday appearing as Mr. Potter once again. Perhaps in a few years, if Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is announced for the big screen, Radcliffe will somehow be persuaded to pull on his wizard robes again.
In the meantime, Radcliffe has been busy since Harry Potter ended. The 30-year old actor most recently appeared in Guns Akimbo, an action-comedy about a video game developer who accidentally gets himself involved in a real-life death match while playing a game. He’ll also star in the upcoming biopic thriller Escape From Pretoria, centering on the story of Timothy Jenkin, a South African imprisoned during Apartheid for distributing anti-Apartheid flyers; as the title implies, the flick will document his real-life escape from jail. The film is set for release on March 6, 2020.
Radcliffe has also been a series regular on the TBS comedy anthology series Miracle Workers, which is based on the writings of former Saturday Night Live writer Simon Rich. The second season, which premiered at the end of January, still has a couple episodes to air before the season finale on March 24; the show has not yet been picked up for a third season, but the series has been well-received by fans and critics.
Radcliffe has also joined the cast of Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special, which is slated for release sometime in 2020 (via Variety). Sure, he’s talented and game for nearly anything, so he’ll never have any shortage of work — but if he should ever decide to pick up his old wand once again, you won’t hear us complaining.
