Johnny Depp is all set to star in the sequel to the upcoming Harry Potter-spinoff ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’
Warner Bros., the studio handling the film, is not revealing the role that Depp will play. He’s also appearing briefly in ‘Fantastic Beasts,’ which opens November 18 and stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, with David Yates directing.
‘Harry Potter’ author and ‘Fantastic Beasts’ screenwriter J.K. Rowling revealed last month at a fan event that she’s planning on five films for the franchise. Warner Bros. Pictures had announced in August that a second movie in the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ series was already in the works with Redmayne as the lead.
The ‘Fantastic Beasts’ sequel will be released on November 2018. Shooting will begin next year.
‘Fantastic Beasts’ is set in 1926 with Redmayne arriving in New York as part of a global excursion to research and rescue magical creatures — including some hidden in his briefcase. Chaos strikes when some of the creatures are inadvertently let loose.
Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler, Colin Farrell and Jon Voight also star in ‘Fantastic Beasts.’
