'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' updates: New photos of Scamander tease fans more

Little is known about the plot of the sequel movie "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald," which is scheduled to hit theaters in November this year. However, new photos from Warner Bros. bring little fragments from the sequel's story, and fans are trying to put the puzzle pieces together.

One of the photos released stirred up a lot of questions from fans. Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) is seen looking at a postcard with the image of the Eifel Tower behind it. This could mean that someone from Paris has something to show or say to Scamander, which piques his interest. Many fans are now asking whom the postcard is from and what message it contains that made Scamander curious.

There are speculations that the letter might have been from his former close friend Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz). However, spoilers suggest that Scamander is trying to "break emotional ties" with Lestrange, but the latter just keeps on forcing herself into Scamander's life.

According to initial photos released by Warner Bros., Scamander makes his way to the French Capital and is accompanied by his friend Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler). There is also a photo of Scamander with Porpentina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston). In the image, the two are somehow trying their best to remain still or perhaps someone caught them in the middle of something. No matter, it looks like Scamander is once again working with his friends on a mission to stop the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp).

In a photo released earlier in January, Grindelwald is not alone. He is seen together with a girl named Vinda Rosier (Poppy Corby-Tuech). Another individual with the last name Rosier was mentioned in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Igor Karkaroff (Predrag Bjelac) mentioned the name of a death eater, Evan Rosier, when he was in trial.

The sequel is said to take place two years after the first film.
