wondrous beast and Where To Find Them 2has add together thespian David Sakurai to its cast , in the role of a villain . The firstFantastic Beastsmovie introduced Eddie Redmayne as young wizard Newt Scamander , before eventually break that Johnny Depp is playing the role of the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the Wizarding World . The nefarious champion ( who spent most of the firstFantastic Beastsfilm masquerade as Auror Percival Graves ) was comprehend at the last of the movie , but he will be back on the loose in the sequel and building an USA of follower to do his bid .
TheFantastic Beastssequel is currently film in England with a leading cast that includes returnees like Redmayne , Depp , Dan Fogler ( Jacob Kowalski ) and Katherine Waterson ( Tina Goldstein ) , as well as new look likeJude Law as the young Albus Dumbledore .
As filming continues on theFantastic Beastssequel , it seems that Grindelwald ’s regular army has raise another yet wizard to its movement . Deadlinehas revealed that actor Sakurai has joined the cast of the still - untitled sequel in the role of Krall , one of Grindelwald ’s follower .
Since theFantastic Beastsfranchise is n’t based on exist books like theHarry Potterfilms were , rooter have no experience with Krall ( or any of the new charactersJ.K. Rowling is introducing as screenwriter).Deadlinedescribes him as an " ambitious and glooming henchmen " , suggest he will probably pass afoul of his master Grindelwald at some point ; whether he survives the inevitable punishment for such a fault , remains to be seen .
We do n’t get it on much about Krall yet , but Sakurai is an accomplished performer , writer and director . The 38 - year - old has done most of his work in his native Denmark . His most visible role to date in North America was on an episode ofIron clenched fist , " Immortal come forth From Cave " , in which he appear as the villain Scythe . Sakurai brought both menace and charm to the role of Scythe , a killer happy to taunt his victim or even serenade them with karaoke before fetch up them off . The role permit Sakurai to use some of his own martial arts ability ( he ’s proficient in a phone number of styles , include Muay Thai ) . His next appearance will be inStoic , asterisk Antonio Banderas and Karl Urban .
Sakurai is a great summation to the film ’s already various cast , and it will be interesting to see what he does with the role of a dark thaumaturge . Hopefully the picture show will make use of Sakurai ’s talents by allowing him to showcase some of his martial arts skills ; the combining of witching abilities and deal - to - hand combat would certainly be an interesting one that we have n’t yet seen in any of theWizarding World films .
