Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them Teaser Trailer Breakdown: 29 Things You Need To See

14. Shaw: America's Future

Where Shaw falls in the conflict is unclear - if they're picketing a campaign event, it's clear he's not on the side of the N.S.P.S., suggesting he's pro-magic or, more likely, willingly oblivious.

Shaw is played by Josh Cowdery, who's only really had a few bit-parts in various recent blockbusters. His father, however, is played by Jon Voight, some pretty exciting casting.

With an immigrant bringing in dangerous creatures, a political candidate proclaiming to be "Americas Future" and friction between two co-existing communities, there's something rather apt about Fantastic Beasts being released in the year of Donald Trump's Presidential campaign. In fact, it'll be released mere weeks after the US election, lending a lot of contextual weight to this side of the story.
