With yesterday's news of Johnny Depp possibily joining the magical Potter-Verse in the sequel to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, all eyes are on the upcoming release. In fact, the film is already tracking for at least a $75M dollar weekend.

While Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them takes place much earlier than the overwhelmingly successful Harry Potter franchise, there are still connections between the two.

Three new action-packed clips for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them were released today giving us a glimpse at war, dark magic, and even monsters. You can view them below.

In the 1920's the magic that was used and talked about in the Harry Potter movies was first created and now we get to see how it all started! Witches and Wizards were forced to hide in the shadows, until a man entered New York with a case full of mystical creatures and a serious threat rises to power!

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an all-new adventure returning us to the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potterblockbusters. 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.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them also stars Katherine Waterston (Steve Jobs, Inherent Vice) as Tina; Tony Award winner Dan Fogler (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) as Jacob; Alison Sudol (Dig, Transparent) as Tina's sister, Queenie; Ezra Miller (Trainwreck) as Credence; two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet and Lowdown) as Mary Lou; Oscar winner Jon Voight (Coming Home, TV's Ray Donovan) as Henry Shaw, Sr.; Ron Perlman (the Hellboy films) as Gnarlack; Carmen Ejogo (Selma) as Seraphina; Jenn Murray (Brooklyn) as Chastity; young newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty; and Colin Farrell (True Detective) as Percival Graves.

Warner Bros. Pictures has slated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for worldwide release in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX on November 18, 2016
