Johnny Depp set to play major part in SECOND Fantastic Beasts film

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hasn't even hit the cinema yet, but an announcement has already been made for the upcoming sequel.

According to Deadline, Johnny Depp is joining Eddie Redmayne and the cast for the second installment of the movie. 

Johnny's exact role remains top-secret for now, but it has been reported that we'll see a small glimpse of him in the first movie.

For those not up to date, Fantastic Beasts is a tale about the adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York's secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school.

The first movie hits cinemas at the end of this month.
