Last year the name and release date of the new Fantastic Beasts film was revealed and now, four months later, we get to see a sneak peak of what's in store for fans.

After much anticipation and regular teasing online, the first teaser trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald has dropped and we're super excited!

Starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Jude Law and Johnny Depp amongst others, the two minute teaser trailer gives fans an idea of what to expect in the new film. This film continues on from the first Harry Potter spin-off, where the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured with the help of Newt Scamander. Now we get to see Grindelwald who has now escaped custody as he sets about gathering followers.

Watch the teaser trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald below:

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released on the 16th November 2018 and is the sequel to the Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them released in November 2016.

Back in November 2017 the announcement of the film's name was made via a tweet which read, 'In one year, return to the Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.'

It wasn't long before fans were taking to Twitter to express how excited they were, with one saying 'OMG I'M SO READY FOR IT' and another saying, 'Yessss 🙌'!

The day before the film name was announced, the release date of the highly anticipated film was announced on Twitter which read 'Wands at the ready. On 16.11.18 the #FantasticBeasts story continues.'

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was author J.K.Rowling's screenwriting debut and drew inspiration from the Hogwarts textbook of the same name written by Newt Scamander in the Harry Potter books.

20. The Lost City Of Z

2013's The Immigrant is sadly still waiting for a UK release, so praise be to the cinematic gods that James Gray's The Lost City Of Z arrived without delay. Based on the true-life tale of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), this dense but always gripping biopic is part political drama, part family drama and part adventure.
On discovering the remnants of an indigenous society, Fawcett spent his life trying to prove his Amazonian finds until his unexplained disappearance in 1925. Containing one of the most beautiful scenes of the year, this undseen gem deserves, nay, demands your attention.
