We were assured of a first look at Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them 2, yesterday. Warner Bros. have kept their word and revealed the official title, a magical cast portrait revealing Jude Law as a younger Dumbledore and the official synopsis of the film. Check this brilliant sneak peek here.
It took just one year for the heroes, villains and the magic to make a comeback to the Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Jude Law is seen as a young Albus Dumbledore, who is one of the most iconic characters by J.K. Rowling, Ezra Miller is back as the mysterious Credence whose fate wasn’t clear when the first movie ended; Claudia Kim is Maledictus, the carrier of a blood problem which ultimately sees her morph into a beast; Zoe Kravitz is LetaLestrange who had once been dear to Newt Scamander, but, is now the fiancée of his brother; Callum Turner is on board as Newt’s older brother, Theseus Scamander, who is a decorated war hero and the chief of the Auror Office at the British Ministry of Magic; Katherine Waterson reprises the role of Tina Goldstein, who has been restored as an Auror for MACUSA; Eddie Redmayne is once again seen as the Magizoologist Newt Scamander who is now known among the wizards as the writer of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
Dan Fogler is back as the only Non magical entity in the group, Jacob Kowalski: Allison Sudol is once again playing the role of Tina’s joyful sister Queen Goldstein, who has the power to read minds and Johnny Depp is back as the mighty Dark Wizard GellertGrindlewald in this Warner Bros. Pictures production Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Have a look at the official synopsis below:
“Warner Bros. Pictures announces Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as the title of the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. Opening exactly one year from today, November 16, 2018, the film features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp. At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard GellertGrindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (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 (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.”
David Yates is directing the J.K. Rowling written Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and the movie is produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. Have a look at the living portrait and the title’s revelation below:
