Zoe Kravitz, who portrays Leta Lestrange - fiancée of Newt's brother Theseus Scamander in the
Fantastic Beasts film series - finally
revealed her character's relation to another notable Lestrange in J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World - Bellatrix.
Quote:
Zoe Kravitz: "I play Helena Bonham Carter's great-great aunt. She's an icon of mine so it's a real pinch-me feeling to even be associated with her. I think her performance in Fight Club is one of the best by a woman in a film."
It should be noted that Bellatrix from the
Harry Potter books was not born a Lestrange, she took her husband's surname when marrying him (her maiden name being Black). From Kravitz's comment, it should be concluded that Leta is Bellatrix's great-great aunt by marriage, not by blood.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald from the newest issue of Entertainment Weekly, featuring the first two official promos, can be found here:
Warner Bros. Pictures announces Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald as the title of the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World™. Opening exactly one year from today, November 16, 2018, the film features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp.
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.
In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is being directed by David Yates, from a screenplay by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, and produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram.
