As well as the huge returning cast, there are a few new faces joining the Fantastic Beasts saga. The most prominent would be the Doctor Strange and Hannibal actor Mads Mikkelsen, who is replacing Johnny Depp in playing Gilert Grindelwald.

This was after Depp stepped down from the role, following the controversial and public domestic abuse case between him and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Mikkelsen was quickly brought in after Depp's departure and has since stated he wanted to put his own spin on the character.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actor Richard Coyle has confirmed on Twitter that he will be part of the film too, but his role is currently still a mystery.

The actor Oliver Masucci has revealed to a German magazine that he will be playing the Head of the International Confederation of Wizards. Audiences may know Masucci from the hit Netflix Original series, Dark.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
