It's still a couple of years before Warner Brothers' scheduled release of 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them' but Entertainment Weekly already showed excited fans a glimpse into the upcoming film.
While fans believeed that Newt Scamander is the main character of the upcoming trilogy film, he actually won't be alone in his journey to search for the wizarding world's creatures.
"The assumption is Newt's front and center, but it's a quartet. So that feels like it slightly takes the [pressure] off. At least, that's what I'm telling myself," he reportedly Ace Showbiz as reported by Business Standard.
The site further revealed that Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander will be joined by Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a "determined employee at the Magical Congress of USA" and also Newt's wife-to-be.
Queenie (Alison Sudol), "who possesses an ability to telepathically peel back the layers of the mind," will be the second member. They will also be joined by the muggle - or a "no-maj" - Jacob (Dan Fogler).

Redmayne also assured fans, after an uproar with the word "no-maj," that "muggle" (used to describe a non-magical being in the "Harry Potter" universe will still be used in the film.
"This is the important thing, the word 'muggle' has not been changed, the word 'muggle' still exists," he assured when asked about the issue during the New York premiere of his new film "The Danish Girl" according to Screenrush. "It's just different nationalities. The word 'muggle' will definitely be in 'Fantastic Beasts,' I can put it that way."
Meanwhile, the original "Harry Potter" star, Daniel Radcliffe, told Entertainment Weekly that he was excited for whatever Eddie Redmayne brings to the screen as Newt Scamander.
He believes that Redmayne doesn't need any kind of advice from him, adding: "I don't think there's anything to live up to as well, especially because it's not like there's original source material which is a very strong narrative."
The first installment of "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" is scheduled to hit cinemas on Nov. 16, 2016.
