Jude Law has been cast to play the young Dumbledore for second 'Fantastic Beasts,' directed by David Yates with a script by J.K. Rowling.
Law will portray Dumbledore long before the iconic wizard became the Headmaster at Hogwarts, as he has been known in the “Harry Potter” books and movies. We meet him decades earlier, when Dumbledore is still serving as the wizarding school’s Transfiguration professor. He is also a contemporary of Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), the charismatic dark wizard who believes wizards are superior to Muggles and No-Majs.
The film is set to shoot this summer.
