There was a scene cut from 'Fantastic Beasts' that kinda changes the whole movie

The producer of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - David Heyman - said the scene was taken out because they didn't want audiences to know exactly where the next movie was heading. But then he went ahead and told us all about it anyway!?

*SPOILER WARNING*

The climax of the film centers around the reveal that Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller) is the source of the Obscurus - the dark cloud creature that’s flying around New York and leaving destruction in its wake. His sister, Modesty (Faith Wood-Blagrove), was a red herring the whole time and wasn’t an Obscurial at all (Obscurials being the name for the witches and wizards hosting an Obscurus).

Eventually Credence is tracked down and is killed. Wellllllll that would be that but the Aurors do this while Credence is in his incorporeal Obscurus form. This is meant to give audiences enough doubt about the truth of Credence's death. It's pretty ambiguous, though.

Well IT WOULD BE if producer David Heyman hadn’t spilled the beans to Cinema Blend. He flat-out said that Newt was less important to the movies than Grindelwald and Credence going forward. And he said that the film originally had a scene where Credence’s survival was shown to the audience:

"We actually had a scene, which we cut, which was Credence going to a boat, to get on a boat somewhere else. But we cut that, because we didn’t want to have it be such an, ‘Ahhh, here we go.’"

So, what was that scene kind of like?

"Him getting on a boat, maybe a boat with Newt, maybe not, and heading off out of New York."

The filmmakers didn't want to make it too obvious but then went ahead and decided to describe the scene to everyone anyway!

We know that the next film is set in the UK and Paris so perhaps Credence heads there. But no matter what, we're pretty sure he's alive.
