What will happen in Fantastic Beasts 2?
Set just months after the first film ended in 1927, the sequel will document the rise of Gellert Grindelwald after he was unmasked while masquerading as Percival Graves, Director of Magical Security and head of The Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA's) Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
The wizard's grand plan is for magical pure-blood wizards to reign over all No-Maj's (non-magical folk) so audiences can expect to see Grindelwald wreak havoc on the streets of New York, London and Paris.
To thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.
What has JK Rowling said about the film?
In October 2018, JK Rowling unveiled new details about the film, revealing that Ezra Miller's Credence Barebone will play a central role in events.
In a new featurette on the upcoming sequel, the author explained that it picks up a few months after the first movie, with an imprisoned Gellert Grindelwald escaping as he is transferred to Europe to answer for his crimes.
"Credence survives," Rowling says, "and for Credence, the question now is [finding out who he is]. The reason everyone goes to Paris really is Credence."
