But not according to producer David Heyman, who revealed to me during last week’s New York press junket for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them that a key scene showing Credence alive and well following his supposed death was cut from the final film.
As the first installment in a five film franchise, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them was always going to have to tease to the future.
The revelation that Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) had been masquerading as Percival Graves (Colin Farrell) throughout the film heavily suggests that the dark Wizard will be the biggest threat going forward, while the apparent death of Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) would have led you to believe that his tale is now done.
