The Hollywood Reporter has reported Carmen Ejogo, along with Academy Award Winner Jon Voight and Gemma Chan are among the latest additions in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Harry Potter spinoff by J.K. Rowling.
Directed by David Yates, the trio join Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Colin Farrell, Jenn Murray and newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove.
The film follows Newt Scamander (Redmayne), the Wizarding World’s preeminent magizoologist, who in his travels has encountered and documented a myriad of magical creatures, ultimately leading to his penning the Hogwarts School textbook “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” (The events of Fantastic Beaststake place 70 years before Harry Potter reads Scamander’s book in his wizarding school.)
Ejogo was recently seen in Born To Be Blue, the Chet Baker film that stars Ethan Hawke. That film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. She was last seen playing Coretta Scott King in Ava DuVernay‘s Oscar nominated film, Selma.
Warner Bros. Pictures will release Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them set in 3D and IMAX on November 18, 2016.
