Fantastic Beasts Production & News
Since the recasting of Grindelwald due to Johnny Depp’s lawsuit, not much has been leaked by the cast and crew, not even an official title! However, with production having wrapped up in late July, news has finally surfaced. Mads Mikkelsen had an interview with GamesRadar, and he said that he believed that the story was good, and he enjoyed working with everyone. He was the new guy on set and that meant that he didn’t have the bonds that the others had, showing that he is the only new face added to the film at this time, but very few of the cast members have been revealed, and we don’t know who else may have been added to the amazing cast. He also knew that he couldn’t put in a Johnny Depp level of intensity, which did not suit J.K. Rowling’s Grindelwald. Mikkelsen went on to tell GamesRadar he had to make the character his own, and many fans are eager to see Mikkelsen’s interpretation.

In a separate interview, Dan Fogler hinted at the movie
having some parts take place in Brazil in 1939, just before the start of World War II. This is a huge leap in time from The Crimes of Grindelwald, which took place in 1927. However, as this is only a five-part series, time jumps such as this are to be expected on their way to the famous battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald in 1945. The last film ended with Grindelwald using fear to gather followers, some of which were Queenie and Credence. Still, there is hope that things will come out alright, since Newt’s Niffler stole the blood pact that keeps Grindelwald and Dumbledore from hurting each other. Still, we don’t know what Grindelwald has been up to for a decade, and some speculate that perhaps Grindelwald helped in the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, not that it makes the events of WWII any better.
Fantastic Beasts 3 began reshoots in August. It will hit theatres on July 15, 2022.
