Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) returns as Newt Scamander alongside Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean), Jude Law (Cold Mountain), Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), Zoë Kravitz (Big Little Lies) and Ezra Miller (Justice League). The second instalment of the 'Fantastic Beasts' series challenges Newt as Dumbledore sends him on a search for Credence.

The film adaptation rights were acquired before the book was even published; is A Simple Favour the crowd-pleasing, water cooler flick that Lionsgate hoped it would be?
