I must have read somewhere that Jude Law was going to be Dumbledore, but I'd forgotten, because him showing up in this trailer was a surprise to me. The first Fantastic Beasts movie had some good moments but was pretty mediocre overall. I don't think it helps that Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander isn't exactly a dynamic or exciting hero to root for. But that whole cast is back again this time for The Crimes of Grindelwald, which was promised by Johnny Depp's brief appearance in the other movie. I still think the series could benefit from protagonists that are more appealing (Jude Law is actually a step in the right direction there), but I'm sure the movie will be passable enough. I am curious though, Is David Yates ever going to stop directing these movies?
