Suffice it to say that 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' made a splash when it debuted last November. Not only did it offer fans a chance to return to J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World (one of several that year, in point of fact), but rather than rest on its laurels, the film also took advantage of the opportunity to expand the world. It did so by setting its narrative primarily in New York City. And now the upcoming sequel, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' is set to follow in its predecessor's footsteps.
Directed by David Yates from a screenplay by 'Harry Potter' creator J.K. Rowling, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Johnny Depp, Zoe Kravitz, and Jude Law. The film is scheduled for release on November 16, 2018.
