Another Installment Of ‘Fantastic Beasts’ To Come In 2021
Muggles will have to wait a while before they see the next installment of J.K. Rowling’s “Fantastic Beasts” hit the big screen.
Warner Bros. announced that the third “Fantastic Beasts” will be released on Nov. 12, 2021 with production on the movie expected to begin in spring of 2020.
Toby Emmerich, Warner Bros. Pictures Group Chairman, shared in a statement the reason behind waiting so long to film and release the next movie.
“We all believe this release date will give the filmmakers time and space to allow their artistry to truly flourish and deliver the best possible film to our fans,” Emmerich told Variety.
The upcoming third movie is part of a five-film series in the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise, which is set in the magical wizarding world of Harry Potter, also popularized by J.K. Rowling.
“Fantastic Beasts” is a prequel series to the Harry Potter series, and stars Eddie Redmayne as magizoologist Newt Scamander during the 1920s, years before the adventures of the “boy who lived.” The second film, “Crimes of Grindelwald,” finally follows Gellert Grindelwald’s ascent to power, despite the best efforts of Newt and Albus Dumbledore (played by Jude Law).
It may seem like a long wait for the next movie, but at least true Potterheads have Pottermore and the books to go through in the meantime.
