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.

Why are they doing this? This torture is not doing anyone any good. And it's a forgone conclusion that any HP movie will make oodles of money, so it's not like they have to hold out or be stingy with cash.
The characters MUST be played by the same actors otherwise this movie series will turn into a joke and I am sure there will be legions of fans that will lose interest and just not go to the cinema - at all.
If WB reads any of these posts, then they better make sure that the keep the same actors, and get this Oldman deal finalised. You can't have anyone else play him. What was that thing I learned in film school - CONTINUITY!!!! Very important. And I see that applying to using the same actors over the entire seven films as well.

That's so not cool. Surely, SURELY he wouldn't do this to us now. But the studio should know better than to release an unconfirmed statement like that.

Bah! Just sign the damn thing, already. He knows the fans will get all hot and bothered without him, and he's probably just vying for more money. Didn't Robbie Coltrane do the same thing with Prisoner?

Gary is the only Sirius! There is no other! If he doesn't than who will play the most important role in the next film!? I do not understand why he wouldn't sign it! I would in a second!

They cant cut sirus! or change his character. Thats just wrong. they have changed so much of the movies already, changing the setting was one thing. it took a little magic out of the whole thing.

It took me a long time to accept the new Dumbledore. If Gary Oldman can't play Sirius, then it will probably take twice as long for me to get used to the new Sirius.

Well, I thought that an article said that Gary Oleman was to appear as Sirius. I hope he does though, because I hate it when they change the actors. Dumbledore, for example.

Why is there all this confusion? I can't see anyone else as Sirius, except maybe Johnny Depp, but he would never do Harry Potter and is too busy with Pirates...

wow, we sure are increasing the value of his negotiating power. Hope he just is 'too busy' and not any other more unpleasant, baser reason... Yes, I cannot picture anyone else as Sirius but maybe I'll just have to...one person shouldn't hold up production by twisting arms.... but I am an unusually cynical person

Hmm...
I think that I'm prety sure that he'll take the role if they offer it to him. It's probably just some definite assumption that WB made. Who knows? We'll find out soon enough.

Oh my god!! I mean what would Order of the Phoeniz do with out the original Sirius? I mean?? I hope they dont change him , but most of all I hope he does wish to come back, well I dont think he wont, I mean, he came back for Goblet of Fire where he appears ñike two seconds with his face in the fire, why wouldnt he come back for this one if he's going to be more importanta that before....??? I really do hope that he signs for Order of the Phoenix, well I guess we all do.....
