'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald': Ezra Miller says the cast wasn't consulted about Johnny Depp's controversial role

Depp's casting has been shaded a lot especially after allegations against him for physically and verbally abusing his ex-wife Amber Heard had flared up

Harry Potter fans might be reveling in the magic of the latest installment in the franchise 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' finally releasing this Friday, but cast member Ezra Miler is very clueless about some aspects of the film. Case in point: Why Johnny Depp was cast in the film at all. The 26-year-old internet heartthrob who has made fans swoon with his portrayal of Credence Barebone in the film based on J.K. Rowling's book recently shared about Depp's controversial involvement in the film.

Speaking to Playboy, he shared that neither he nor any other cast members were asked for their opinions on working with Depp, especially considering allegations against Depp for physically and verbally abusing his ex-wife Amber Heard had flared up not so long ago.
