Although Squibs have not been mentioned yet in the Fantastic Beasts film series, the theory that Jacob will turn out to be a Squib in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore makes sense. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them introduced audiences to the Wizarding World’s first major Muggle character: Jacob Kowalski.

Jacob not only gets to visit Hogwarts and eat in the Great Hall, but is given a wand by Albus Dumbledore.
