Consider us confunded about this update on the Fantastic Beasts sequel.

One element fans of the Harry Potter spin-off are most excited to see in the next installment in the series, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, is Dumbledore back on screen. This time around, Jude Law plays a younger version of the character , who author J.K. Rowling revealed was gay in 2007 while promoting the final book in her original series.

The revelation was met with praise and some resistance at the time, since neither the books nor the films gave any indication about the Hogwarts headmasters sexuality. But many still eagerly awaited finding out how the new franchise would dive deeper into Dumbledores personal life.

Except, it appears the sequel wont be doing much of that at all, according to director David Yates, who also helmed the final four Harry Potter films.

Not explicitly, Yates told Entertainment Weekly , about whether Dumbledore will be clearly gay in the film. But I think all the fans are aware of that. He had a very intense relationship with Grindelwald when they were young men. They fell in love with each others ideas, and ideology and each other.

In one year, return to the Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. #MagicInProgress #FantasticBeasts pic.twitter.com/8aWj8xhGj5

Fantastic Beasts (@FantasticBeasts) November 16, 2017

According to Rowling, Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), a dark wizard and early predecessor to Voldemort, during their teenage years. But Grindelwald later became consumed with dark magic, leading to an all-out duel.

Hes a maverick and a rebel, and hes an inspiring teacher at Hogwarts. Hes witty and has a bit of edge, Yates continued. Hes not this elder statesman. Hes a really kinetic guy. And opposite Johnny Depp as Grindelwald, they make an incredible pairing.

Fans immediately met the directors comments with outrage. Many had considered the Fantastic Beasts franchise as the long-awaited opportunity to finally explore Dumbledores sexuality.

JK Rowling made a huge deal out of announcing Dumbledore was gay after she was done actually writing Harry Potter. Now, given the chance to write new Dumbledore stories with the Fantastic Beasts movies, his sexuality will ... still not be explicit https://t.co/Tv8mjckAwl

Rowling previously promised that the films will eventually unpack the pairs relationship over the five planned sequels.
