With Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore hitting theaters nationwide today, Jessica Williams joined us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to recap her journey from The Daily Show to the Wizarding World. The third film in the Fantastic Beasts series sees Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) trying to take over the Wizarding World. Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) knows he can’t stop him alone, so he puts together a team that includes Magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), his brother Theseus (Callum Turner), Newt’s assistant Bunty Broadacre (Victoria Yeates), Leta Lestrange’s half-brother Yusuf (William Nadylam), No-Maj Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), and Williams’ Lally, a charms professor at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Together, they must complete a complex plan in order to stop Grindelwald from sparking a devastating war with the human world. During the Fantastic Beasts portion of our Collider Ladies Night conversation, Williams detailed exactly how she became involved in the franchise and also pinpointed some sources of inspiration when developing Lally. On top of that, she took a moment to highlight some on-set standouts that made a huge impression on her and shaped her Secrets of Dumbledore experience for the better. Find out which Fantastic Beasts cast member Williams fell in sync with the quickest and who challenged her to adapt the most in this Collider Ladies Night After Hours clip! #FantasticBeasts #SecretsOfDumbledore #MadsMikkelsen BREAKING NEWS, REVIEWS & MORE: SUBSCRIBE: FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
