The studio rolled out a number of massive trailers, including first looks at their next two DC movies, Aquaman and Shazam. On top of that, there was a trailer for next year's Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and also the promise of a return to the Wizarding World.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald arrives in November and, after a teaser a couple of months ago, we've now got a proper trailer that gives us a much clearer idea of not only the tone of the movie, but also just what to expect from the sequel.

The focus now is not solely on Eddie Redmayne's Magizoologist Newt Scamander, but shared with two huge names from Harry Potter history: future Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law), and the second greatest dark wizard ever, Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp).

With a great sense of foreboding, the key players all being tested and, of course, a few new fantastic beasts, there are some intriguing plot details to be found in the trailer. Revelio.
