At the end of the panel for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the production released a brand new trailer, full of footage we haven’t seen before.

What are you looking forward to seeing the most in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?
Animators recreated the Comic-Con panel setup in a short sketch that included a Lego version of panel moderator Conan O’Brien asking Lego Batman, Lego Joker and Lego Robin about the new film, in which Batman tackles fatherhood.
Maybe it’s just because we’ve all been playing Pokémon Go, but there’s something of that classic game in this trailer, as the characters run around trying to wrangle all sorts of odd magical creatures. Things go south when Newt’s magical beasts escape from his expanding briefcase, after which he is forced to collect them.
“We’re going to recapture my creatures before they get hurt”, he says at one point.
Meanwhile, Newt points out those magical creatures have every reason to be scared, too. Not so much the actual movie, which is a spinoff/prequel set in the wonderful world of Harry Potter and which was scripted by creator JK Rowling herself.
The film was directed by David Yates and written by J.K. Rowling.

The culprit turns out to be Newt Scamander (Redmayne), whose creatures, all magically contained in a briefcase, have escaped all over 1926 NY. Mary Lou (played by Samantha Morton) and Credence (Ezra Miller) appear on the edge of the poster, along with Percival Graves (Colin Farrell), Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol), Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), and Porpentina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston).
