Warner Bros. has released new photos from the upcoming Fantastic Beasts sequel, The Crimes of Grindelwald.

The photos, which you can view below, feature some new and familiar faces, including a proper look at Jude Law playing a younger Albus Dumbledore. Also featured are the returning Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander and Johnny Depp as the titular villain Gellert Grindelwald.

The Crimes of Grindelwald picks up where the first film left off, with Grindelwald escaping custody and gathering pure-blood wizards to help rule over all non-magical beings. In order to put a stop to Grindewald's plans, Albus Dumbledore decides to team up with his former student Newt Scamander. As previously reported, much of the film will be set in Paris.

Along with Law, Redmayne, and Depp, the rest of the cast includes Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Zoë Kravitz, Callum Turner, Claudia Kim, William Nadylam, Kevin Guthrie, Carmen Ejogo, and Poppy Corby-Tuech.

David Yates returns once again to direct from a screenplay by J.K. Rowling. The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second of five planned films, will open in theaters on November 16, 2018.
