Full cast photo and film title for Fantastic Beasts sequel is released and reveals Jude Law as young Albus Dumbledore.

Entertainment Weekly has just revealed the first full cast photo for the Fantastic Beasts sequel along with the film's new title. The upcoming sequel will be named Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and is set to be released in theaters one year from today. The new information doesn't stop there as new details on the film's synopsis have been released as well.

Synopsis:

"“At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.”"

This sounds like it will be one incredible film.

You can see the full cast photo (in costume) below.
