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 really hope he does OOTP because he is so good as Sirius. And, it would be kind of weird if someone else played the part and not Gary Oldman!

WHAT!?!?!?!?
I can't believe this.
Well, unless he's signed for another movie, why shouldn't he come back as Sirius for the Order? >,>

OHH... I bet this is all just a publicity stunt, a way to get Oldman more popular (not something he might do, but I'm sure his manager would). I doubt that Oldman will turn down the offer if it is presented, especially if he had a good time filming PoA (which it seemes he did on the special 2-disc PoA). Why don't they just make the contract and get it over with?!

I cannot believe this. It is an outrage. They better hurry and sign him before he gets fed up with the rumors.

Lets hope we get a confirmation soon. I am not quite open to the idea of someone else being Sirius. He acts really good in the part.

He will be back as Sirius, how could he NOT be!? I'm not worried about this in the least. Sometimes actors don't get signed on until the last minute. *crosses phalanges with Sirius-Ella*

If they don't bring back Gary Oldman as Sirius it just won't be the same! Besides Sirius has a big part in it.

Hogwarts babe says:
What was the point in telling us he would be coming back and then saying there has been no deal? If he is coming back, then he needs to decide soon as filming has started already and what is the point in starting movies like harry potter if the same people aren't going to come back for all the others? It wouldn't be the same without him really.

He's a good actor but I won't be totally disappointed if he's not in the movie. He was mediocre to me. I imagine Sirius of having a young spirit so it would be nice to have someone young and actually have his essence instead of putting some famous guy.

Here we go again. First Robbie now Gary. I wish they whould both put pen to paper and end the drama. Is it about money? They are both doing fine. Dump any previous commitments and lets get filming!

He has to sign back on! Without him the whole movie would be messed up, and they can't find someone new! That would just ruin the whole movie! It wouldn't be the same!
