Are you excited for theFantastic Beasts and Where to Find ThemsequelFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald? The film will once again transport audiences back into the magical world ofJ.K. Rowling’sHarry Potter, with a historical bent. While theHarry Potterstories were set in the modern-day U.K., theFantastic Beastsfilms are set in the 1920s. Two new images fromFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwaldhave just arrived to give us all a glimpse of the very fashionable characters in the film.

Hot Dumbledore

The first photo features Jude Law as the young Albus Dumbledore, powerful wizard, handsome fellow and vest enthusiast. In the film, Dumbledore enlists the help of his former student Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to help thwart the plans of Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp). Speaking of Gindelwald, he’s the subject of the second photo.

Yep, there he is, with his terrible hair. I don’t want to turn this news story into yet another piece that asks, “Why is Johnny Depp in this movie?”, but seriously – why is Johnny Depp in this movie? The franchise hadColin Farrell, who hadmuchbetter hair, at the ready – and instead decided to trade him in for Depp. How unfortunate.

FANTASTIC BEASTS Johnny Depp

Here’s an official synopsis forFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwaldto go along with these two new images:

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.

In addition to Redmayne, Law and Depp,Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwaldalso starsKatherine Waterston,Dan Fogler,Alison Sudol,Ezra Miller,Zoë Kravitz,Callum Turner,Claudia Kim,William Nadylam,Kevin Guthrie,Carmen Ejogo, andPoppy Corby-Tuech.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find ThemdirectorDavid Yatesreturns to helm this film (and the plan is for Yates to direct the next three sequels as well).
