Grindelwald has a new face but the same, very confusing, bad plan in the first trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The preview of the third movie at Fantastic beasts and where to find them The series aired on Monday and gave us a glimpse of Mads Mikkelsen as the film’s villain, as well as Jude Law, Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterson as the Wizarding World’s only hope.
The trailer dives right into the subtitle as Newt and his friends search for those Dumbledore secrets. A ragged group of incredible heroes – a magician! A teacher! Muggle! Work together to save the world from certain doom as Grindelwald grows in power. Also scattered among the great real threats, Newt dances a little crab.
As for the real big evil of the film, Mikkelsen is the third actor to play the main villain of the Fantastic Beasts — in one form or another — so far in the three films in the series. Johnny Depp did it most recently in 2019 Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, but it was replaced for the third film after sinking into a personal confrontation. The Fantastic Beasts series is supposed to include two more films for five in total – which gives us the opportunity for at least two more Grindelwalds.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is scheduled to be released on April 15, 2022.
