Fantastic Beasts 3 in BIG Trouble? - Harry Potter News

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, I just want some news regarding the new Fantastic Beasts (3) film. In 2016 we had Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them, and in 2018 we had Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindelwald. In 2020 we were meant to get the third installment- but of course that never happened, and that’s for a number of reasons.

First of all- COVID hit, and while they were already lagging behind BEFORE Covid hit, it certainly didn’t make things easier. Film production stopped worldwide for a little while- and this meant that we would have to wait. Additionally, it has been expressed by Warner Brothers and Rowling that the screenplay underwent a rewrite.

The first two installments of the 5 part series were not received very well by the worldwide audience- and this is essentially what prompted this rewrite- not wanting the third film to fall victim to critics the way the first two did.

Lastly, Johnny Depp, the primary antagonist in the film, was fired over pending allegations. Replacing a main character in a film franchise is no easy task- and this pushed the production back even further. We were first cited with a Nov 2020 release date, then a Nov 2021 release date, and now a summer 2022 release date. Filming began as far back as June for the latest installment, and since then we haven’t been giving much information, aside from the recasting of Grindelwald- Mads Mikkelsen.

So, what’s the current state of affairs with regards to the Fantastic Beasts film franchise? As it turns out, things might not actually be that good.

Let me just start by saying that I’ve done my due diligence with this news, but can’t say with certainty that it’s entirely true. Anyway, let’s get in to it.

According to an insider with the film, Fantastic Beasts 3 is in big trouble. In fact, it’s in so much trouble that it could potentially end up as an HBO max exclusive- rather than a giant blockbuster film. Moving the film to a platform like HBO max away from the main theatres would be a HUGE deal, and that’s why I’m questioning the validity of the news. However, it does kind of make sense- it’s not like things have gone swimmingly for the franchise so far. As it stands, the most recent installment, The Crimes of Grindelwald, was the lowest-grossing and worst-reviewed film from the entire Harry Potter universe. Mix that in with all of the problems pertaining to casting and a global pandemic, and you’ve got yourself a bigger problem.

There are also some hints that Warner Bros may try to wrap up the film in three installments rather than 5, giving the next one a definitive ending in the event that it crashes and burns.

I don’t know about all of this- but it’s certainly something that people are talking about. As far as I’m concerned, the worst grossing movie from the Harry Potter film franchise is still a pretty high grossing movie- so I’m not sure that all of this checks out.

One thing is for sure: the future of Fantastic Beasts is a little bit uncertain. However, I am still a huge fan of the Franchise and hope that things work out, with 3 more installments rolling out in theatres in the coming years.

Hopefully we get a teaser trailer soon so that we can get a better idea of what we’re in for!
