Magical New Footage Featured in This International Trailer For FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE
"Now will we fulfill our destinies… and transform the world."
Warner Bros. has released a great new international trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, and this thing is packed full of magical and fun new footage that fans of the franchise are sure to enjoy.
In the story, “Professor Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?”
It’s been explained that Dumbledore and Grindelwald have a complicated relationship and Dumbledore is filled with regret because of the relationship they had that led Grindelwald on a dark path. Dumbledore and Grindelwald made a pact as young men through a blood troth. Those who carry it can not go into a physical fight with the opponent. So there’s no way that Grindelwald can get into a fight with Dumbledore. There’s a great featurette that dives into this aspect of the story, which you can watch here.
The film's cast also includes Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams, and Katherine Waterston. J.K. Rowling’s frequent collaborator and Harry Potter franchise writer Steve Kloves co-wrote the script, and Harry Potter veteran David Yates returned to helm the new movie.
The movie is set to be released on April 15th.
