David Yates defended casting Johnny Depp in the Fantastic Beasts sequel following domestic violence accusations made by the actor’s ex-wife Amber Heard.
Depp, 54, had a small role as dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in 2016’s Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, but will have a larger role in the sequel subtitled The Crimes Of Grindelwald.

‘Honestly, there’s an issue at the moment where there’s a lot of people being accused of things, they’re being accused by multiple victims, and it’s compelling and frightening,’ said Yates in an article on Tuesday by EW.
