The Final Trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is Here!

Warner Bros

The final trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is here and it is intense! I think it's going to be quite a dark and revealing journey. "This November, the future will change forever."

Here's the official synopsis from Warner Bros:

At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne).  But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.  Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald arrives in theaters on November 16.

Solo: A Star Wars Story On Blu-ray

Lucasfilm

Solo: A Star Wars Story arrives on Blu-ray today. The movie was unexpectedly fun. Although it took me awhile to get used to the young cast in place of familiar faces, I enjoyed the chance to see how my favorite smuggler and rogue got started on his life of crime. We learned how Han, Chewie, and Lando met, and we finally saw what happened on the mysterious Kessel Run. Solo: A Star Wars Story may not be as intense as other Star Wars films, but it is still a decent story that I'm sure I'll watch again and again.

There are a few different Blu-ray sets available, but all of them come with the following bonus features:

• Solo: The Director & Cast Roundtable
• Team Chewie - A behind the scenes look at what it take to bring Chewbacca to life
• Kasdan on Kasdan - An interview with the father and son team that wrote the script
• Remaking the Millennium Falcon - From swanky to stripped, track the ship's transformation
• Escape from Corellia - A behind the scenes look at the high-octane chase
• The Train Heist - Explore the thrills of a remote location and spectacular effects
• Becoming a Droid: L3-37 - Meet the newest droid
• Scoundrels, Droids, Creatures and Cards: Welcome to Fort Ypso - Tour the rough-and-tumble bar
• Into the Maelstrom: The Kessel Run - See how this legendary moment unfolds
• Deleted Scenes: Proxima's Den, Corellian Foot Chase, Han Solo: Imperial Cadet, The Battle of Mimban: Extended, Han vs Chewie: Extended, Snowball Fight!, Meet Dryden: Extended, Coaxium Double-Cross
• The Millennium Falcon: From Page to Park - An Exclusive look at the history and development if the most famous hunk of junk in the galaxy and how it will appear in Disney parks

Marvel LEGO: Trouble in Wakanda Short

LEGO

Thanos is out to cause more trouble for Black Panther and the Avengers in this short from Marvel and LEGO. This time, he's got a little help from Ulysses Klaue and Eric Killmonger. These LEGO shorts are rather hilarious. The jokes are so bad, they're actually kind of funny. And the Avengers: Infinity War references are just too ridiculous.
