5. It'll Play On Leta's Allegiances

After being mentioned in the first movie, Leta Lestrange is making her proper debut this time around.

It's not made explicit how she'll fit into the plot, but the trailer suggests a figure full of sadness, and that the movie will play on her torn allegiances.

She was, as we learned, a close friend of Newt's, and that bond obviously still exists to some extent, while she's also engaged to his brother, Theseus. And yet, she's a Lestrange, a notoriously dark wizarding family, and when she says to Newt "you never met a monster you couldn't love" she's surely referring to herself, and after the trailer showed her helping Newt and Tina, it suggests a betrayal is on the cards.
