ALL ABOUT FANTASTIC BEASTS 3

The Fantastic Beasts is a fantasy movie franchise which is set 70 years before the events that take place in Harry Potter series. It is directed by David Yates, who has directed the other two Fantastic Beasts films and some Harry Potter movies.

Fantastic Beasts shows the stories of younger versions of characters such as Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law). Eddie Redmayne essays the role of Newt Scamander, who goes on a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary variety of magical creatures. Mads Mikkelsen will be seen in the role of the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald. While Johnny Depp portrayed the character in the previous films, the actor was asked to step down by Warner Bros following his failed libel case against a British tabloid for a 2018 article which labelled him as a ‘wife-beater’.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore cast also includes Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler and Jessica Williams.
