Warner Bros. has offered a first look into the second installment of the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise with a moving picture of the cast.
Titled “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald,” the new movie sees Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) reunited with Tina (Katherine Waterston), Queenie (Alison Sudol) and Jacob (Dan Fogler).
A glimpse of Jude Law as much younger Albus Dumbledore could also be seen on the teaser. The actor stood in a relaxed and leaning pose at far left, with an ample beard.
Following the end of the first film, dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) has set out to recruit pure-blood wizards and have them stand above all non-magical beings.
To stop Grindenwald, Dumbledore called on the help of his former student Newt. Battle lines are drawn on the sand and two sides will face off, the aftermath of which would greatly affect the wizarding world.
The clip also showed five other faces. Sitting in the middle, Callum Turner plays Newt’s older brother Theseus, who also happens to be a war hero and Head of the Auror Office at the British Ministry of Magic. Beside him sits Zoe Kravitz who plays Leta Lestrange, Theseus’ fiancé.
To the right of Dumbledore sits Ezra Miller as Credence, and Claudia Kim as Maledictus, the carrier of a blood curse which would ultimately transform her into a beast.
Finally, there’s Johnny Depp at the far right as the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald.
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” will premiere in theaters on Nov. 16, 2018. JB
