Johnny Depp set for role in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them sequel

Ok, we admit, between one thing and another we didn’t get the chance to report this, so apologies, but we figured it’s still worth looking at…

With the first Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them movie hitting in less that two weeks, we’re hearing that Johnny Depp himself will be in the second movie and not just that but we’re hearing that if you pay close attention he may be in the first movie too.

Now, while nothing is being said by Warner Bros on who Depp will be playing, we’re wondering if he might be Dumbedore or Grindlewald in the movie as we’ve heard that both characters will have a very small part – perhaps just a mention – in the first movie (more on this here).

So there you have it… do you think Depp will be a welcome part of the Potter-verse?

Let us know in the comments and social pages, guys

“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” also stars Katherine Waterston (“Steve Jobs,” “Inherent Vice”) as Tina; Tony Award winner Dan Fogler (“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”) as Jacob; Alison Sudol (“Dig,” “Transparent”) as Tina’s sister, Queenie; Ezra Miller (“Trainwreck”) as Credence; two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton (“In America,” “Sweet and Lowdown”) as Mary Lou; Oscar winner Jon Voight (“Coming Home,” TV’s “Ray Donovan”) as Henry Shaw, Sr.; Ron Perlman (the “Hellboy” films) as Gnarlack; Carmen Ejogo (“Selma”) as Seraphina; Jenn Murray (“Brooklyn”) as Chastity; young newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty; and Colin Farrell (“True Detective”) as Percival Graves.

The film reunites a number of people from the “Harry Potter” features, including producers David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram.
