In recent interviews with “Hey U Guys,” Colin Farrell was questioned about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Colin Farrell released very little information, saying even he was not sure what role he played within the series.

At marker 2:00, Farrell is asked about his next project–Fantastic Beasts. When asked if he had to read the Harry Potter series for background knowledge for his part, Farrell confirmed that the project was entirely independent from the series and didn’t require background reading.

We knew that, after all J.K. Rowling and all the producers have said repeatedly that the films are the extensions of the Wizarding World, taking place seventy years before Harry–even before his parents were born. The story begins in New York, far from Hogwarts in Scotland.

At marker 4:58, Farrell is asked about Fantastic Beasts, and his role within the work. Even Farrell says he has no clue what he is playing–just that the sets, creatures and costumes are amazing. Not that we expected any less.

Thanks to SnitchSeeker for the heads up!
