USA Today also debuted an exclusive image as part of their 2022 movie preview, which features Newt and his brother Theseus. have managed to gather some help, though, and it looks like a confrontation is brewing between them and the dark wizard – with Grindelwald starting a war with the muggle world. So where will we find the characters when Fantastic Beasts 3 begins? Will Queenie still be on Team Grindelwald? How is Credence dealing with the knowledge that he’s actually Aurelius Dumbledore, Albus’s long-lost brother? Will Grindelwald (who has been recast) have trained him to take on Albus, knowing that a blood pact means he can’t take on the older Dumbledore himself? And will Newt, Tina, and Jacob have been able to rally forces to take on Grindelwald and his growing band of followers?įrom the looks of the first trailer, Dumbledore and Credence will indeed clash, and Queenie is still on Grindelwald's side. Both Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Crimes of Grindelwald took place in 1927 but – seeing as the next three movies have to span the subsequent 18 years to get us to 1945 – it’s reasonable to assume there’ll be a big time jump ahead of the third movie. We’ll be able to speculate more about the Fantastic Beasts 3 plot when we know exactly when it’s set. This was subsequently confirmed by Wizarding World, so there’s a good chance we’ll be enrolling at Castelobruxo, the magical Brazilian school that was mentioned in the Harry Potter novels.

We also know that the film is off to explore new corners of the Wizarding World. That means Fantastic Beasts 3 is just the middle of the story. This was always envisaged as a five-movie arc, set to conclude with an epic duel between Albus Dumbledore and his enemy/former lover Gellert Grindelwald at the end of World War 2. Story specifics are currently scarce, but we do know that we’re not going to see Newt Scamander’s story resolved in the Fantastic Beasts 3 plot. There’s also plenty of experience behind the camera, where David Yates helms his seventh wizarding adventure, after four Potters and the first two Fantastic Beasts. Rowling’s getting extra writing assistance from Steve Kloves, who scripted all but one of the Potter movies (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the exception). You want to be able to create a standalone movie that’s enjoyable for someone who isn’t steeped in the lore.” But what you don’t want to do is intimidate people. That fan base really knows the lore and they want to go deep into these characters. “The hardest part of the franchise is you have such a big core fan base.
She has an incredible vision of where she wants to go with this that is incredibly exciting. Rowling is really working hard now on that third script, and we’re going to get it right. “The second film didn’t perform as well as the first, but I think we know what we need to do to get the third film hopefully even better than the first one,” Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara admitted to the Los Angeles Times in February 2019. Following the comparative disappointment of The Crimes of Grindelwald, Warner Bros seemed to acknowledge they had some extra work to do on the Fantastic Beasts 3 plot.
