Actor Colin Farrell, currently starring in the second season of
True Detective on HBO, is the latest cast in the upcoming
Fantastic Beasts an Where to Find Them, as a wizard named Graves whom Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) meets.
Farrell, for those interested, was featured in the brand-new trailer for his upcoming movie
Solace, releasing in theaters this fall.
Please do take this with a grain of salt as the THR report still lists Ezra Miller (who denied being part of the series) as cast, while made no mention of Dan Fogler, who actually will portray Muggle Jacob in the series (confirmed by J.K. Rowling herself).
Fantastic Beasts an Where to Find Them, starring Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Faith Wood-Blagrove, and written by
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, hits theaters in November 2016.
