Law will at least have the comfort of knowing he’s not the first person to tackle Rowling’s witchcraft and wizardry universe after the Harry Potter film series.
The time frame surrounding the development of Dumbledore and Grindelward’s relationship is probably among the least things Law is worrying about at this point.
Rowling was non-committal in answering the question about Dumbledore’s sexuality during the press rounds for the first Fantastic Beasts movie, saying, “This is obviously a five-part story, so there’s lots to unpack in that relationship.”
Law says he was in rehearsals for his new play Obsession on the London stage when he heard he was cast in Fantastic Beasts 2, and has yet to learn whether the first of four sequels in the series portray Dumbledore as openly gay and feature a romance with Johnny Depp’s Gellert Grindelwald.
