The
Fantastic Beasts' series social media released a new set piece from the upcoming second movie, out November 2018, featuring a locked object owned by famous alchemist and wizard, Nicolas Flamel (portrayed by Brontis Jodorowsky in the series).
No word yet on what could be in the case, though perhaps fans will get the first glimpse of the Philosopher's Stone made famous in recent years by J.K. Rowling's
Harry Potter novels.
The following plot details were released by Warner Bros. about the second installment, which hits theaters and IMAX in November 2018.
Quote:
J.K. Rowling wrote the screenplay for the film, which opens in 1927, a few months after Newt helped to unveil and capture the infamous Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. However, as he promised he would, Grindelwald has made a dramatic escape and has been gathering more followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings.
The only one who might be able to stop him is the wizard he once called his dearest friend, Albus Dumbledore. But Dumbledore will need help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander. The adventure reunites Newt with Tina, Queenie and Jacob, but his mission will also test their loyalties as they face new perils in an increasingly dangerous and divided wizarding world.

Fantastic Beasts 2 includes Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander), Katherine Waterston (Tina Goldstein), Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein), Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski), Ezra Miller (Credence Barebone), Johnny Depp (Gellert Grindelwald), Kevin Guthrie (Abernathy), Callum Turner (Theseus Scamander), Jude Law (Albus Dumbledore), and Zoe Kravitz (Leta Lestrange).
