New FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD Image Reunites Newt With An Old Friend
A new image from the highly anticipated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sequel has found its way online today and as well as taking Newt Scamander to Paris, it reunites him with an old friend...
With Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald set to focus on the rivalry between Albus Dumbledore and the villainous magician the sequel is named after, we don't really know what role Eddie Redmayne's magizoologist will end up playing in the J.K. Rowling penned release. However, a new image shows the character hanging around Paris with a fan-favourite familiar face close behind.
We are, of course, talking about Jacob Kowalski, the Muggle who had his mind wiped at the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. That's clearly changed, though, and considering the fact the dynamic between these two was so great, it should be fun getting to see them together again.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is set to be released on November 16th, 2018. The first instalment earned $814 million at the worldwide box office, so while this franchise isn't quite matching the Harry Potter movies, there's no reason to think this story won't continue being told over multiple movies. What do you guys think of this new image? Let us know your thoughts down below.
