The trailer for The Crimes of Grindelwald might focus on Dumbledore and Grindelwald's beef, but it also introduces a dazzling — and disturbing — new addition to J.K. Rowling's world: a circus. While speaking to Miller, he revealed that despite the darkness lurking within the travelling show, Credence is able to find a home there.
"The histories of side shows are disturbing ones. This era . . . that world would have been a world of a lot of heavy exploitation. Definitely some animal cruelty. At the very least, PETA would have been displeased," he joked. "We heard in Credence's narrative in the first film, the derogatory term 'freak' thrown at him in a way that was deeply effective, right? I find it really interesting that we find him here in a sideshow, in a 'freak show' as they were known."
