The film stars an ensemble cast that includes Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Callum Turner, William Nadylam, Poppy Corby-Tuech, Jessica Williams, Jude Law, and Mads Mikkelsen.
In the 1930s, the Wizard World found themselves slowly involved in World War II and the story will explore magical communities in Bhutan, Germany, and China, in addition to those already known in the previous two films including Brazil, USA and the UK.
Set a few years after the events of The Crimes of Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore tasked Newt Scamander and his friends to gain access to the headquarters of an army organized by the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald.
Newt Scamander and his friends' quest leads to a clash with Grindelwald's army, and will leave Dumbledore deciding whether to stay on the sidelines or intervene in the impending war.
From the latest trailer of the movie, Dumbledore would have a duel with Grindelwald.
Filming began in early 2020, but was postponed to near the end of the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, Johnny Depp was forced to leave the role of Gellert Grindelwald (and was replaced by Mikkelsen) because of the controversy surrounding his ex-wife Amber. This further delayed the progress of the movie.
Currently, the film's release date is set for April 8, 2022 in the UK and April 15, 2022 in the US in 3D and 2D formats. In addition, the film will also be streamed on HBO Max after 45 days from the date of release.
Two other Fantastic Beasts movies are in development.
