AceShowbiz - Firs look at Ezra Miller's mysterious character in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has been unveiled. Making its way out via Entertainment Weekly, the new still gives a glimpse at Miller's character named Credence Barebone along with Colin Farrell's Percival Graves in an alley plastered with posters from New Salem Philanthropic Society.
According to the site, Credence is the adopted middle child of Mary Lou Barebone (Samantha Morton), who is also the leader of New Salem Philanthropic Society. He reportedly "appears withdrawn, extremely shy and far more vulnerable than his two sisters." He is socially awkward as he is abused by his mother. His loneliness makes him susceptible to the manipulation of Percival Graves, a powerful auror who has taken a personal interest in Credence.
"Everything's like CIA-level," Miller says of his character. "If I tell you s**t about my character, I swear there's a sniper up on the roof that will take me out." He explains that "getting the role was a moment of absolute ecstatic joy and sort of transcendent sense of completion. I was doing some sort of slightly epileptic dance in the street of New York City, dropping to my knees, crying, praising the heavens, with people looking at me like I should be institutionalized."
