Macaulay Culkin Wants role in Fantastic Beasts
Macaulay Culkin wants a role in the next film in the Harry Potter spinoff franchise, Fantastic Beasts source’s told. The latest trailer for the upcoming film, The Crimes of Grindelwald, was recently released, and it has fans buzzing about a lot of things. Most notable? The official reveal of the character Nagini – in her human form.
A popular fan theory was confirmed when the trailer was released: Nagini, a snake companion of Lord Voldemort’s and one of his seven Horcruxes in the Harry Potter series, was previously a woman – specifically, a Maledictus witch who carries a blood curse that turns her into a creature. In this case, a serpent. Actress Claudia Kim, whose exact role in the film has been unknown until now, has said that her character wants to remain human despite her abilities. While most were surprised, many were pleased – but some fans took issue with the human version of the character.
Amidst all this commotion, who should chime in but Culkin, who tweeted his support to Rowling – and an additional message. In a tweet directed at the author, Culkin expressed his interest in appearing in the third installment in the franchise, while also listing some of his credentials, including his starring roles in Home Alone and The Pagemaster, which is a children’s animated feature that dealt with magic and books that came to life.
