WB's Fantastic Beasts 4 Decision Still Several Weeks Away
It could take several weeks, or even several months, before Warner Bros. decides the fate of the Fantastic Beasts franchise and whether there will be aFantastic Beasts 4. The Fantastic Beasts film series kicked off in 2016 with the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The film served as a spinoff and prequel to the very popular Harry Potter franchise and was inspired by a guide book of the same name written by J. K. Rowling. Fantastic Beasts follows the adventures of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) after a misplaced suitcase leaves him scrambling to find his escaped fantastic beasts.
The first Fantastic Beasts film received generally favorable reviews, with many pointing out the film's reminiscence to the magic of Harry Potter. However, its sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, received much more negative reviews and was the lowest grossest film of the Wizarding World. Hence, many awaited the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore with cautious hope, wondering if it would bring back the magic of the Wizarding World or continue to stray from it. Fantastic Beasts 3, so far, has only received slightly more favorable critical reception than Fantastic Beasts 2, but it is setting out to have the worst Harry Potter box office performance. While Fantastic Beasts is supposed to be a 5-film franchise, Warner Bros is waiting to gauge the performance of Fantastic Beasts 3 before it greenlights the final two films.
