2. And Tries To Kill Newt (But Has To Fail)

Speaking of eternal life, there's also a heavy hint of death in this movie, as the trailer confirms that we'll see a proper showdown between Grindelwald and Newt.

Supported by his loyal follower Vinda Rosier (Poppy Corby-Tuech), he's facing Newt and Theseus Scamander here, along with a couple of background figures it's hard to make out (you imagine, though, that Jacob and Tina are nearby at least).

Of course, Newt is the face of the Fantastic Beasts franchise, even as the focus spreads to Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and his frequent post-1927 appearances in Potter canon confirm he doesn't die here - but might someone else?
