Introduction
The Fantastic Beasts films are a prequel series to the Harry Potter films, set in the 1920s. The first film in the series was released in 2016, and the second film was released in 2018. There have been rumors that a third film is in development, but no official announcement has been made.
There are several factors that could influence whether or not a third Fantastic Beasts film is made. The first is the box office performance of the first two films. While both films were commercially successful, they did not perform as well as the Harry Potter films. The second is the critical reception of the films. The first film was generally well-received, but the second film was met with mixed reviews. The third factor is the creative direction of the series. The screenwriter of the first two films, J.K. Rowling, has stated that she has an outline for a five-film series. However, it is unclear if she will continue to write the screenplay for future films or if she will hand off that responsibility to someone else.
Only time will tell if a third Fantastic Beasts film will be made. However, based on the box office performance and critical reception of the first two films, as well as J.K. Rowling’s statements about her plans for the series, it seems likely that another film will be made at some point in the future.
The First Fantastic Beasts Movie
The first Fantastic Beasts movie was released in 2016 and was set in 1926. It starred Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, a magizoologist who accidentally unleashes a magical briefcase full of dangerous creatures into New York City. The film also starred Katherine Waterson, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Ezra Miller. The movie was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $814 million at the box office.
The Second Fantastic Beasts Movie
The second Fantastic Beasts movie, The Crimes of Grindelwald, was released in November 2018. The movie grossed over $654 million at the worldwide box office, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of 2018.
While this was a far cry from the first movie’s $812 million haul, it still proved that there is interest in the franchise. So, will there be a third Fantastic Beasts movie?
At this point, it seems likely that Warner Bros. will greenlight a third movie. The studio has already announced that the next two movies in the series will be released in November 2020 and November 2022. And while the box office numbers for The Crimes of Grindelwald were not as high as expected, they were still strong enough to make a third movie a viable proposition.
Will There Be A Third Fantastic Beasts Movie?
It’s been three years since the last Fantastic Beasts movie came out, and fans are starting to wonder if there will be a third one. The series is based on the Harry Potter spin-off books by J.K. Rowling, and so far, two movies have been released. The first one came out in 2016 and the second in 2018.
The movies follow the adventures of magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and his friends in the wizarding world. They’ve been very successful, grossing over $1.3 billion at the box office worldwide.
So far, there’s no official word on whether or not there will be a third Fantastic Beasts movie. However, given the success of the first two movies, it seems likely that Warner Bros. will green-light a third one at some point. Stay tuned for updates!
Why There Might Not Be A Third Fantastic Beasts Movie
With the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, fans are already wondering if there will be a third movie in the series. While Warner Bros. has not officially announced anything, there are a few reasons why there might not be another Fantastic Beasts movie.
For one, the Fantastic Beasts franchise is not as popular as the Harry Potter franchise. The first Fantastic Beasts movie made $814 million at the box office, compared to the $1.3 billion made by the first Harry Potter movie. Additionally, the reviews for The Crimes of Grindelwald have been mixed, with some critics saying that the film is too convoluted and confusing. This could discourage Warner Bros. from making another Fantastic Beasts movie.
Another reason why there might not be a third Fantastic Beasts movie is that J.K. Rowling has said that the series will consist of five movies total. If Warner Bros. stuck to this plan, that would mean that the third Fantastic Beasts movie would be the last in the series.
Of course, there are also some reasons why Warner Bros. might decide to make a third Fantastic Beasts movie. For one, even though the franchise is not as popular as Harry Potter, it is still very popular and has a large fanbase. Additionally, even though reviews for The Crimes of Grindelwald have been mixed, they have been mostly positive and many fans are still eager to see more from the franchise.
Only time will tell if Warner Bros. decides to greenlight a third Fantastic Beasts movie. Until then, fans can only hope that they will get to see more of Newt Scamander and his friends in future films.
Why There Might Be A Third Fantastic Beasts Movie
Here are a few reasons why there might be a third Fantastic Beasts movie:
1. There’s still more story to tell.
The Fantastic Beasts franchise is based on the Harry Potter spin-off book series by J.K. Rowling, which means there’s plenty of material that could be adapted for the big screen. So far, two movies have been released, with the second one (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald) ending on a cliffhanger. This suggests that there’s still more story to be told, and that a third movie could be in the works.
2. The movies are doing well at the box office.
Both Fantastic Beasts movies have been commercially successful, grossing over $1 billion dollars each. This suggests that there is still strong interest in the franchise, and that a third movie could be lucrative for the studio (Warner Bros.).
3. The cast is game for another movie.
The cast of Fantastic Beasts has expressed interest in returning for another installment, suggesting that they would be open to reprising their roles if a third movie were to happen.
4. J.K Rowling is involved in the creative process.
Fantastic Beasts is Rowling’s baby, and she has had a hand in writing the scripts for both movies so far. Given her investment in the franchise, it’s likely she would want to see it through to its conclusion with a third film.
What We Know About A Third Fantastic Beasts Movie
It’s been almost three years since the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and fans are still waiting for an announced third movie in the franchise. Here’s everything we know (so far) about a potential third Fantastic Beasts movie.
In October 2018, it was announced that there would be five movies in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, not three as originally planned. This means that there is still potential for a third movie, though nothing has been officially announced yet.
The script for the third movie has reportedly already been written, with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling apparently working on it herself. However, no further details about the plot have been released.
If a third movie is indeed in development, it is likely that it will not be released until 2022 at the earliest, due to the COVID-19 pandemic delaying production on other films and television shows.
In the meantime, fans can tide themselves over with Fantastic Beasts 3: The Lives of Animals, a new book by J.K. Rowling that will be released on June 18th, 2021.
What We Don’t Know About A Third Fantastic Beasts Movie
At the moment, there is no official word on whether or not a third Fantastic Beasts movie is in the works. However, there have been some hints that a third movie might be in development.
In October 2018, it was reported that Warner Bros. was “close to finalizing” a deal with director David Yates to return for a third film. Then, in November 2018, it was reported that screenwriter Steve Kloves was “in talks” to return for the third film.
So, while there is no official confirmation of a third Fantastic Beasts movie at this time, it does seem like Warner Bros. is at least considering it.
Conclusion
After much speculation, it seems that Warner Bros. has finally confirmed that there will be a third Fantastic Beasts movie. While plot details are few and far between at the moment, it seems that the film will be set in Brazil and will focus on the character of Newt Scamander.
With filming set to begin in early 2020, it is expected that the third Fantastic Beasts movie will be released sometime in 2021.
