Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them: 10 Ways It Sets Up The Sequels

9. The Real Graves Could Appear

Fantastic Beasts 5

Who is Percival Graves? It's a question that you're asking throughout the movie, with a very surprising answer.

At first he just seems like a particularly stern MACUSA employee, but as it progresses it feels like there's more to it. I was expecting a reveal that he was a Grindelwald fanatic, but not that he was actually Grindelwald himself!

But that itself throws up a question about who Graves really is. He's fairly senior within MACUSA, so how did he reach that position? It seems unlikely that Grindelwald had the time to work his way up the ranks while also establishing himself as the world's most dangerous wizard.

That means there must be a real Graves out there - unless Grindelwald killed him - and there's a good chance we'll see more of his story as the series continues.
