Fantastic Beasts 2 (2018): Cast List and Film Details

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, released in 2018, is listed here with its full credited cast rather than the two or three names that usually travel with it. That is what a cast search is generally after, not the lead, but the face further down that someone cannot place.

What this cast list does and does not tell you

11 performers are credited, and the roles are recorded for 10 of them. That ratio is the honest shape of film credit data: who was cast is reliable, what they were called is patchy, and the order they were billed in is usually absent altogether. This page reflects that rather than smoothing it into a confident-looking table.

The question a cast list cannot answer is what the film led to, which is usually the next thing asked. The sequel tracker covers the follow-ups that were set up and whether they arrived, the film index is the route to the other cast pages, and the actor index gathers the performers who have a page of their own.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is 8 years old, which matters for a cast page in one specific way: the further back a film sits, the more of its supporting cast have since become recognisable in something else, and the more likely it is that someone arrives here trying to place a face rather than to look up a lead.

At 11 credited performers this sits against a median of 19 across the 16 films held here, larger than 1 of them. Cast size is worth a glance because it predicts how findable the supporting players are: the bigger the ensemble, the more of it exists nowhere else in a readable form, which is the whole reason to write these lists out in full.

What this page is built from

Structured film records, pulled by the same process that produces the cast pages here, not written from memory, which for credit data is how errors get in.

Questions about Fantastic Beasts 2

Who is in the cast of Fantastic Beasts 2?

11 credited performers, listed below.

Why is the cast not in billing order?

Because billing is not recorded for this film. The names are alphabetical, and putting them in an invented order would present a guess as a fact.

Where do these details come from?

Structured film records pulled from Wikidata by the same process that builds the cast pages here, cross-checked against each film's own listed cast rather than written from memory. Where the record is thin — a missing character name, an unconfirmed billing order — the page says so, which is more useful than a confident sentence with nothing behind it.
