Brian Cox Is More Than Open to Doing A Succession Film
Succession concluded its run last year after four seasons, but Brian Cox, who portrayed patriarch Logan Roy on the HBO series, has left the door open for a possible Succession movie. Speaking at the BAFTA Tea Party at the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills, Cox expressed his openness to the idea, stating:
“We’ll see. If it’s good enough and [series creator] Jesse Armstrong wants to do it, I might do it.”
During the same interview, Cox made it clear he isn’t enthusiastic about Kieran Culkin’s idea of a spinoff with Nicholas Braun’s Cousin Greg. Cox believes Braun is focused on exciting new projects and wouldn’t be interested in it.
“I don’t think Nick Braun would want to do it either,” Cox said. “He’s going onto other things, which are really exciting for him.”
We will have to wait and see whether Succession will ever end up getting a movie. It is also a wonder how Brian Cox would be in the movie in the first place, considering what happened in the final season. Nonetheless, fans are eagerly waiting for a potential movie to take place. In the meantime, fans can check out Sucession on the streaming service Max.

The seasoned actor has fulfilled a longtime aspiration by taking on the role of a Bond villain, albeit for a reality TV show. Titled 007: Road to a Millionaire, the show features contestants engaging in spy-themed challenges to vie for a million-dollar prize.
