There have been questions swirling around the Harry Potter TV series ever since it was first announced. The series will adapt the same novels that were already adapted into a hugely popular film franchise, so adapting the same story again struck some as foolhardy. Even so, Warner Bros. is proceeding with the adaptation, and Variety is now reporting that they are eyeing a British legendy for the role of Dumbledore.

The publication is reporting that Mark Rylance, who won an Oscar for Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies, is in the mix for the crucial role in the new adaptation. While negotiations aren't underway yet, Variety is reporting that the studio has reached out to the actor's representation to gauge interest.

Ryan Reynolds at his best: 13 movies you can’t miss
As a Reynolds fan, you must see all of his top films listed here
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine.

"I don’t expect success. I prepare for it." Wise and self-fulfilling words from our guy, Ryan Reynolds, one of Canada’s sweethearts. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Reynolds dreamed of getting out of there early in his life, not to abandon his family or hometown, but to act. True to his words, he and a fellow Vancouver actor impulsively took to the road one night with one destination: Los Angeles.
After taking the first step in following his dreams, his car was stripped and robbed on his first night in L.A. Did that stop our fearless protagonist? Indeed not. After just a few months, Reynolds was landing roles all over town, working whenever he could. Five years later, he finally got a leading role with a recognizable name, a college comedy called Van Wilder: Party Liaison. That movie didn’t make our list today, but it's only because Reynolds has been busy making an array of better movies ever since.
Most would agree that Ryan Reynolds brings a familiar presence in both appearance and demeanor to most of his films, but when you get a frame that fits just right, you get some great Ryan Reynolds features. That is why we’ve compiled a list of the best Ryan Reynolds movies. It should also be known that these movies were chosen for the movie quality and watchability, not just for the most Ryan of the Reynolds’ performances.

It seems like the Mission: Impossible franchise might be winding toward its conclusion. The Tom Cruise franchise has existed for nearly 30 years, and in that time, it's already produced seven films. Now, we've got the trailer for the eighth: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

The trailer is pretty light on plot and heavy on explosive set pieces, including Cruise hanging off a propeller plane and doing plenty of running across various European locales.
