Fantastic Beasts 2: 11 Major Plot Reveals From Comic-Con 2018 Trailer

8. And Newt Has To Fight Him

We've already been teased this before, but the new trailer makes it clearer than ever that Newt is going to have to go up against Grindelwald. And not just in some sort of covert way, as was previously hinted, but directly toe-to-toe, wand-to-wand.

It's a huge ask from Dumbledore, and poor Newt doesn't really get much of a say in the matter. He'll at least have some help, though, with the trailer showing him, Tina, and Jacob all back together at various points, so we can assume he gets the mission and then manages to get them on board.
