Few details have been revealed about what the second film will be about but what we do know is that Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander is headed to Paris and it “moves deeper into an increasingly dark time for the wizarding world.”

“He’s got a couple of good scenes with Newt,” David said about the wizard’s arrival, according to Screenrant.

“We’re discussing who would play Dumbledore, any suggestions would be good.”

It’s unknown if Michael Gambon will be back in his robes to play Dumbledore but many fans have suggested that the role should be filled by Johnny Depp who is set to join the cast for the second film.
