Jude Law to play Dumbledore in 'Fantastic Beasts' sequel

Actor Jude Law is the new Albus Dumbledore in the next "Fantastic Beast" films.

Released

NEW YORK — Jude Law will play young Albus Dumbledore in the next "Fantastic Beasts" installment.

Warner Bros. announced the casting Tuesday. The iconic wizard was played by two actors in the "Harry Potter" films, beginning with Richard Harris. After his death in 2002, Michael Gambon inherited the role.

J.K. Rowling, who has said Dumbledore is gay, has previously teased that the five-part prequel franchise of "Fantastic Beasts" will explore a more "troubled" time in Dumbledore's life. The author said, "We'll see him at that formative period of his life. As far as his sexuality is concerned, watch this space."

Production on the next "Fantastic Beasts" film is to begin this summer, with a release scheduled for November next year. Last year's "Fantastic Beasts" grossed $813 worldwide.
