It's quite afraid, but of course it is not something that I would say no. Look, next year I will turn 80. I will have 80, 86 or 87 at the farewell party of the series. It is a wonderful role to finish. I see it. I know I will work with the top people in the food chain, magnificent people. And I will work with some of the best British actors in the world.

However, Lithgow himself has confirmed that he will work his British accent for the series and that it would not be the first time he has done it in his career:

He is British, no doubt. In fact, there is a lot of controversy about the fact that they have hired an American to interpret it. It is an icon. I am half English (jokes). I just played Roald Dahl. I have played Winston Churchill. It will spend some time with a dialect teacher. Don't worry about that. But no, I mean that Dumbledore could not be anything other than British. I just have to do my best. The wonderful thing is that all the British actors with whom I worked in The Crown received me with open arms. They had much more confidence in me and my accent than myself
