This article contains spoilers for Succession season 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Succession star Brian Cox has given his opinion on which of Logan Roy\u2019s children could have taken over the media mogul\u2019s empire \u2013 and it may not be who you think.<\/p>\n

The acclaimed satirical drama concluded with its fourth season earlier this year, which ended with the business slipping out of the family\u2019s grasp, as Swedish entrepreneur Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsg\u00e5rd) bought it \u201cfor parts\u201d.<\/p>\n

He installed Tom Wambsgans<\/a> (Matthew Macfadyen) \u2013 husband of Logan\u2019s daughter, Shiv (Sarah Snook) \u2013 in the top job, keeping a tangential link with the old regime.<\/p>\n

However, Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) were implied to have no future at the company after their intense dealings with Matsson, although we\u2019ll never know exactly where they end up in the long-term.<\/p>

Speaking to Screen Rant<\/a>, Cox said that \u201cnone\u201d of the Roy children were truly suitable to take their father\u2019s place, but in his opinion, the person who came closest was Roman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only one, ironically, who I think he feels could step up was Roman, because Roman showed a lot of sensibility, particularly in dealing with the Middle Eastern money \u2014 which was fake, and he knew it, and he could see it in season 2,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought, \u2018Wow, there is a potential in Roman\u2019, as I believe there is. That\u2019s why I think Roman really, really loved his father.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, reflecting on Succession<\/a> season 4\u2019s funeral episode, where Roman became hysterical while attempting to deliver a eulogy and had to be rescued by his siblings, Cox seemingly began to feel differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched it and I just thought that Roman is such a child, he\u2019s so lost,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
