Contrary to a most recent report
, Warner Bros. has just confirmed to us that Gary Oldman will be reprising his role as Sirius Black for the fifth film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Additionally, David Thewlis is also confirmed to return and reprise his role as Remus Lupin.
Both actors are expected to start filming later this summer.
UPDATE: HPANA has learned that despite this announcement, no contract has been presented to or signed with Gary Oldman. Details here.

Thank god for that, i was worried when it was said that Gary Oldman hadn't been signed, but it now seems that he has, i don't like it when they change the actors. I really like both actors.

Glad to see the continuing continuity. I really like that aspect of the films. It makes it easier to watch without the distractions. Other than loosing Richard Harris, the films have been fortunate to keep all of the cast. That is a tribute to the producers and directors.

How could Sirius not be portrayed in the OotP movie?!? I realize the movies don't follow exactly like the books, but I can't see how it would go without him.

Yay! Remus is coming back! I'm very glad. but wasn't it said later that Gary wasn't actually signed yet to become Sirius? I really hope that he gets it because they had really good chemistry on screen in PoA which i really important because they have such a strong bong in the books as well and I think they did a gret job together. Here's to hoping!

I hope that the WB does not get too greedy with how much they want to make. This would be a bad time too change Sirius now.

Well, cool, though I wish David Thewlis hadn't mentioned that "it's just a paycheck" during the making of PoA. It's hard to get enthusiastic about a guy who doesn't really care.

Consistency is good. I'm glad they'll both be returning to reprise their roles. It wouldn't be the same without them, considering they're both incredible actors.
Cheers!
