'Fantastic Beasts' Reveals First Look at New Characters in Exclusive Comic-Con Poster
Thanks to Comic-Con 2016, Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling fans got a shiny new poster for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
Warner Bros. revealed the exclusive one-sheet on Twitter, ahead of their Hall H panel this weekend, and the art deco-y design gives us our first look at Samantha Morton and Ezra Miller's characters. In the much-anticipated prequel, set in 1920's New York, Morton plays Mary Lou, the leader of the fanatical Second Salemers. Miller plays her adopted son, Credence.
These two characters have yet to appear in any of the previously released trailers or stills, so not much is known about their roles in director David Yates' film, scripted by Rowling. But, according to Entertainment Weekly, Mary Lou "is a fanatical radicalist hellbent on exposing and destroying witches and wizards."
In addition to those reveals, we get another look at Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander and, at the top of the poster, a very cool look at the seal of the Magical Congress of the U.S.A. -- MACUSA for short. (Think the yankee version of the Ministry of Magic.)
"Fantastic Beasts" takes Hall H Saturday, July 3, at 11:30 PST, and the film hits theaters Nov. 18.
