The third chapter of the Fantastic Beasts movie franchise has got a new title and release date that will excite fans of the Harry Potter prequel films. The movie has been moved to a sooner date and is officially titled Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
Fantastic Beasts 3 was originally scheduled to hit theaters on November 12, 2021, and then July 15, 2022. However, the new date for the upcoming sequel will now be April 15th, 2022. Fantastic Beasts 3 has been through a lot as far as production goes, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down filming for a temporary amount of time. Now the film has got a new title, a new date, and a new tweet to celebrate the movie coming out.
Fantastic Beasts 3 will follow up where the second film left off, and all of the cast will reprise their roles from the previous film with the exception of Johnny Depp, who will be replaced by Mads Mikkelsen. Other than that, Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Jude Law, and Ezra Miller will all be returning to each of their individual roles. Law portrays a younger Albus Dumbledore, the future headmaster of Hogwarts who was previously played Michael Gambon and the late Richard Harris in the Harry Potter films.
Fantastic Beasts 3 takes place in the Harry Potter universe and is a prequel to the original films. The film has many references and story elements that tie to the Harry Potter movies and books for fans of the popular wizard young adult series. Many fans have been asking to come back to the world, and so far it's been enjoyable for many.
The world of Harry Potter will also be getting a multiplayer RPG (role-playing game) that will be released for video game consoles and PC. The game is set to have character customization, exploration, and many things that fans of the films can appreciate, including a look at Hogwarts. Here's to hoping the fans get really cool fights with the monsters of the world, such as the Basilisk from the Chambers of Secrets movie.
As of now, fans will have to continue to wait for the trailer for Fantastic Beasts 3, but it shouldn't be long considering that the movie's release date was moved up sooner rather than later. Fans don't have to wait too long for the next chapter in the new series.
