First Look At Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them Pegged For Mtv Movie Awards

MTV has confirmed plans to unveil the very first trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them during Sunday’s Movie Awards ceremony. It’ll take place at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on April 10. In attendance to unveil said snippet will be Eddie Redmayne, who headlines David Yates’ Harry Potter prequel as Newt Scamander, a proud Hufflepuff and pioneer in the field of magizoology.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

Plotting course for the Magical Congress of the United States of America, Fantastic Beasts revolves around Scamander’s foray into New York during the roaring ’20s. With a briefcase of wonderfully weird creatures in tow, chaos breaks loose when those elusive beasts escape, threatening the tense relationship between the No-Maj (American version of Muggle) and wizarding communities. Also starring Gemma Chan, Carmen Ejogo, Jon Voight, Katherine Waterston, Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell and Ron Perlman.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, representing the first chapter of a newfound trilogy at Warner Bros., has been pegged to arrive on November 18.
