Will the fourth film of the Fantastic Beasts franchise be released? The production of The Secrets of Dumbledore, the third movie, was significantly affected by the global health crisis, resulting in a delay of several months.
The film's production was far from smooth, especially with Johnny Depp's departure and the recasting of his role as Grindelwald. Adding to the troubles, moviegoers were largely disappointed as the film failed to capture the enchantment of the original series it was based on.
Since then, there has been complete silence on the Fantastic Beasts front. The Eddie Redmayne-led saga was initially penned to last five films, but will we even get a fourth?
Is there a Fantastic Beasts 4 release date?
At present, there is no set release date for Fantastic Beasts 4 and there are no indications of the franchise's continuation. In terms of its existence, the current state of knowledge suggests uncertainty regarding the production of another Fantastic Beasts film.
The critical review and the film's low box office performance in the Wizarding World history indicate a bleak future for Fantastic Beasts. Warner Bros. may consider cutting their losses.
The Fantastic Beasts story is not yet complete. The showdown between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, a significant aspect of Harry Potter lore, has not been depicted on the big screen. Their final duel, which is rumored to showcase the most advanced wizarding magic in history, would be a disappointment for fans to miss out on witnessing.
As of February 2022, the script for Fantastic Beasts 4 had not yet been started, according to director David Heyman. There were reports suggesting that the production of a fourth film may depend on the success of The Secrets of Dumbledore. However, as of November 2022, there have been no active discussions regarding films related to either the Harry Potter or Fantastic Beasts IP, as reported by Variety.
Don't expect the film to release before 2025 as there is typically a gap of several years between the previous movies in the series. The focus seems to be on the Harry Potter reboot on HBO, indicating that the Wizarding World is sticking to what has proven successful.
