Ezra Miller, the star of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, has said he was “shocked” by a twist at the end of the movie.
Warning: spoilers ahead.
Fans were surprised after it was revealed towards the end of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald that Miller’s character Credence Barebone is actually Aurelius Dumbledore, who is assumed to be the brother of Albus (Jude Law).
“I was shocked, stunned, confused, petrificus totalus with wonder and fascination.”

Ezra Miller still has “a lot of questions” about Fantastic Beasts ending
“I was shocked, stunned, confused, petrificus totalus with wonder and fascination,” Miller told Entertainment Weekly.
“And I still have a lot of questions for which I have no answers.”

Miller was also cryptic about whether Albus knows that Credence is his brother, saying: “We truly do not know.
“Jude knows. But he won’t tell you.”
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald hints at Dumbledore’s sexuality
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald also alludes to Albus Dumbledore’s sexuality, with Jude Law’s character saying his relationship with rumoured ex-lover Gellert Grindelwald was “closer” than brothers.

The US actor, who came out as queer in 2012, told Playboy that he was a “sexual being” who had found satisfaction in a squad he calls his “polyamorous molecule”— or “polycule” for short.
The polyamorous group includes members of his ‘genrequeer’ band, Sons of an Illustrious Father, and others who fit in with the rest of the polycule’s vibe.
The Fantastic Beasts star, who last week opened up about his #MeToo moment at the hands of a director and producer, teared up as he spoke about the heartbreak which had led to him abandoning monogamy.
He explained that he had found fulfilment in the polycule, saying: “I’m trying to find queer beings who understand me as a queer being off the bat, who I make almost a familial connection with, and I feel like I’m married to them 25 lifetimes ago from the moment we meet.
“And then they are in the squad—the polycule. And I know they’re going to love everyone else in the polycule because we’re in the polycule, and we love each other so much.”
