Fantastic Beasts: the franchise is “parked”, says the director

You’re a fan of the franchise Fantastic animals? So know that a new movie isn’t expected to hit theaters anytime soon. The statement comes from director David Yates himself. In an interview with Total moviehe said that, at the moment, the sequel is “parked”.

One of the possible explanations for this pause in the franchise could be linked to the poor performance, by audiences and critics, of Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets. The third film in the saga grossed 407 million dollars, just over 2 billion R$, worldwide, compared to 816 million dollars, around 4 billion R$, of the first feature film, and 655 million dollars, approximately R$ 3.2 billion, of the second. .

Furthermore, Warner’s efforts at the moment seem to be focused on the remake series of Harry Potterwhich must tell the events of the seven books of the saga over ten years.

In Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets the famous Hogwarts wizard, played by Jude Law, hires Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) to lead a team on a dangerous mission, in which they will encounter creatures old and new, as well as the growing legion of followers of the villain Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen).

David Yates directs Fantastic Beasts 3. The screenplay is by the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling, in collaboration with Steve Kloves. The BrazilianMaria Fernanda Cândido, Ezra Miller, Jessica Williams, Alison Sudol, Katherine Waterston and Dan Fogler complete the cast.
