Johnny Depp is reported to be joining the cast of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

It's thought the actor will have a cameo in the first film, and a bigger role alongside Eddie Redmayne in the sequel in 2018.

The first movie - which is out on November 18th - is a prequel to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, set in 1920s New York.

J.K. Rowling recently confirmed the 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' franchise will consist of five films. 

It was previously announced that three films would follow the Potter prequel.

The big news was revealed at the Fantastic Beasts Live global fan event last month in London.

"David Yates(Director) has told you that we do talk about Dumbledore and Grindelwald in [Fantastic Beasts], I'm not allowed to say too much. I am allowed to say one thing!", Rowling revealed.

"We were doing some script sessions the other day and I can tell you that we always knew it was going to be more than one movie. We knew that from the start".

"We said a trilogy as a kind of placeholder because we knew there would be more than one movie. I've now done the plotting properly and we're pretty sure it's going to be five movies!"

According to Yates, future movies will explore the rise of Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwards in the Potter series, and his duel with Gellert Grindelwald.
