The trailer forFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwaldalready hints at this.

Given the script was written byHarry Potterauthor J.K. Rowling, that page-turning aspect is hardly a surprise.

Obviously, the dark wizard Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured in the last film.

In the new story, hes being sent back to Europe to be tried and manages to escape.

Whats happened is Grindelwalds belief that purebloods should reign over all non-magical beings is a political thing.

Hes rallying more and more people and it causes divisions across families.

That description sounds a bit like … You Know Who.
