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.

I'm so confused right now...I really hope Oldman is back for this film. I mean, if he was fine being reduced to CG embers in the fireplace, why wouldn't he want to come back and have a very important role in this movie?

I'm sure his manager is just trying to make pressure to get more money.

Oh my god, I can't believe it. If he doesn't get signed on to do the movie I going to freakin' die! It just won't seem right without him. They can't do this to all of us harry potter fans. Im in shock, I think I need to go lay down.

Oh, come on now. No one else could play Sirius. It would look terrible and be really weird to see someone else do it. I hope Oldman takes the part again.

Oh, man. What's with WB? Why would they report such a deal when there isn't one? And what about David Thewlis? The movie wouldn't be the same without either of them.

Oh Please! Are the execs at WB so stupid that they haven't signed the deal with him yet??? Of course fans will be outraged if he's not in OoTP. You'd think they would have been smart enough to have this locked up long before now. Now the fans will come out in legions and he'll be able to demand even more $$$$$. Sheesh.

When one actor plays a major character in a movie, and in the sequel they sign a different actor for that same character, it turns out bad. Although I do think that Michael Gambon (I think that's who it is) is doing a good job with Dumbledore. But that couldn't be helped :(
I bet Gary Oldman will get the contract. There's no reason for the movie people not to want him, and there's no reason for him not to want to do the movie--or at least I wouldn't think there'd be. These movies make so much money, who wouldn't want a part?

If Oldman didn't sign on to be Sirius again, why did the studio said that he'd be Sirius again? Are they just trying to confuse us or something? That's not nice!

I agree with rdosty, theres no way anyone else could play sirius as well as Gary Oldman, and now we know what he looks like, someone else just wouldnt be the same...
