Johnny Depp joins J.K Rowling's 'Fantastic Beast' sequel

02 Nov 2016 |

It has just been reported that Johnny Depp will be joining the cast of 'Fantasitc Beasts And Where to find them'. He will play a co-staring role in the sequel which will be directed by David Yates early next year.

This announcement may come as a shock to many since Depp hasn't had the best public image in recent months following his separation from his ex-wife Amber Heard.

Many Depp fans are extremely excited by the announcement:

Regardless of the bad press he has been receiving, it seems as though Hollywood isn't to fazed by Jonny's possible abusive behaviour. He will also star in Kenneth Branagh's 'Murder on the Orient Express' and in Labryinth, a drama based on the murders of the rappers Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls.
