Warner Bros. has unleashed the teaser trailer for the fantasy prequel/sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald [FBST2]. Eddie Redmayne [EREDM] returns as magizoologist Newt Scamander from the first film where Johnny Depp [JDEPP] was revealed as the titled villain. Jude Law [JLAW] joins the cast as Albus Dumbledor, who went on to become the Headmaster of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald opens on November 16th.
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
