Twitter’s Glorious Reaction to Jude Law Dumbledore Casting

by Jasmine Lee · April 12, 2017

It’s been roughly five hours since news dropped that Jude Law has been cast as Albus Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel.

As usual, Twitter is the best place to find real-time reactions to any news. Obligingly, Twitter did not disappoint after the casting bombshell.

 

Some were ecstatic:

 

Jude Law is playing a young, hot, and gAY DUMBLEDORE IN THE NEXT FANTASTIC BEASTS IM SWEATING ALREADY

Some were on the fence:

I'm fine with Jude Law as Dumbledore. It's trying to believe that Jude Law would want to bang Johnny Depp that throws it all off.

I'm not sure how I feel about Jude Law playing Dumbledore because I'm fairly certain I don't want to be attracted to Albus but I will

Some were downright disappointed:

 

#FantasticBeasts Stop. Just stop please. #JudeLaw #Dumbledore #FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem

— Ripley (@Mad_For_Movies) April 12, 2017

 

But now,#JudeLaw as Albus Percival Wulfric Brian #Dumbledore?

I can't. No matter how hard I try, I can't conceive such image in my mind

And some were stoked that the actor they’d predicted for the role had been chosen:

There are already earnest fan edits of Jude Law as Dumbledore on my Tumblr dash, how am I supposed to process this.

— Elizabeth Minkel (@elizabethminkel) April 12, 2017

 

All I can say is, “Is it November 2018 yet?!”
