It was announced recently that Johnny Depp had been cast in the next movie as legendary Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, and not long after that rumour began to spread that he would in fact also be appearing in cameo form in this, the first movie.

Funnily enough, Depp can actually be spotted briefly in the trailers for the movie (pictured above), and shows up at the tail-end of the movie for a 20-second cameo which sets up him likely embarking on a reign of terror in the next film.

It's a surreal moment when he shows up, and while some might argue that Depp's presence takes them out of the film, he can be a world-class talent when he actually puts his mind to it, so fingers crossed.
