Apparently Variety reports that Academy Award winner Mark Rylance is at the top of the wish list for this Harry Potter reboot.
That being said, I can definitely speculate on why Mark Rylance would be a perfect Dumbledore.
Put that together with the notion that Mark Rylance will potentially be more similar to Richard Harris’ version, and you’ve got a formula that seems keen to work with all Harry Potter fans.
I must stress once again that this isn’t supposed to be a deep criticism of Michael Gambon’s Dumbledore.
