No 'Sirius' deal yet, says Oldman's manager

Gary Oldman has not yet been presented with or signed a contract to appear in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, HPANA has confirmed.
Despite a recent statement from the studio, we have learned and double-confirmed that no agreement has been made.
"At this time Gary Oldman is not set to appear in the next Potter film," manager Doug Urbanski told HPANA. "I cannot explain why the studio confirmed his appearance."
It's unlikely Oldman wouldn't reprise his role as Sirius Black in the fifth film.
Note: This does not imply he won't be in the movie, just that there's no current definitive agreement for him to appear.

It sounds to me as if the delay is coming from Warner Brothers, rather than from Gary Oldman.

Awh, PLEASE come back Gary! It'll jsut ruin the series if there is another switch of characters. It definately took me a while to get at least a little bit used to the fact that Gambon is now Dumbledore. I think I'll explode if antoher change happens to another one of my favourite characters!! Fat Lady Sings, I really really hope you're right!

Mr Urbanski is not the most reliable man in the world, and the way in which he's stringing along the fans (a lot of whom are quite young and have no knowledge of the movie business to back this up with) is dispicable. Does he want to kill Gary Oldman's career again?

I really hope that Mr. Oldman comes back for OotP. He was really good in PoA and GoF (though, admittedly, he didn't do much in GoF) I like him as Sirius Black...

well i hope he is in the movie otherwise how can you have him get Harry sad, I won't reveal a shocking part of the story because maybe there are people out there that don't want to know yet. I just hope he's in.

Oh no! Why did they go and get our hopes up? I can't see anyone else playing Sirius. Besides, it's not like he's going to get typecast or anything, I mean this would be his last movie as Sirius anyway!

Never the less, I hope he does portray sirius in the 5th film, as he is of major importance.

That would really be a let down if he didn't do it. I'd be awful surprised if he did not come back. I'd hate to think about the movie without him.

This is so upsetting and confusing. It was understood that Gary would be reprising Sirius for future films (didn't they have him contracted forward like all the other adult actors?) and then Wizard News posted the article that he wasn't confirmed for OOTP yet. Then HPANA gets official news from WB that Gary *is* in, only to be refuted anew by Gary's reps. What in the name of Merlin is going on behind the scenes?!

Say what??? Is it legal for WB to state that Gary Oldman will appear in the next HP movie even if he hasn't signed any contract? These reports are totally confuzeeeennnggg, hehe... I really prefer Oldman to play as Sirius, but if they must pick another actor, he BETTER be better!

He has to do it! No-one else can play Sirius now, it just wouldn't be the same. They're spending enough money on the film, bung him a few extra quid, he'll do it. It's not as though he's being type-cast.
