VIDEO : Fantastic Beasts 2 Will Make It 'Clear' Dumbledore Is Gay

Months ago, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald director David Yates caused controversy.

Yates said that the film would not address author J.K. Rowling?s post-book reveal that Dumbledore is gay.

However, according to iO9, he?s walking that back, ever so slightly.

In that earlier interview, I didn?t say Dumbledore?s not gay. He is. This part of this huge narrative that Jo is creating doesn?t focus on his sexuality, but we?re not airbrushing or hiding it? the story [of the romantic relationship] isn?t there in this particular movie but it?s clear in what you see? that he is gay. A couple of scenes we shot are very sensual moments of him and the young Grindelwald.
