Adding to Monday's
announcement that
Fantastic Beasts 3 will begin production next spring, Variety shed more details about the actual plot of the story.
Apparently the third installment in the five-part saga from J.K. Rowling and now
Harry Potter series screenwriter Steve Kloves will feature more Dumbledore - played by Jude Law - and his home at Hogwarts.
Quote:
Part three is expected to put more of a spotlight on Jude Law’s young Albus Dumbledore and set more action at Hogwarts, with series stars Eddie Redmayne, Ezra Miller, Katherine Waterston and Dan Fogler also returning. While taking the series back to its Hogwarts roots, the third movie will also show how magic is explored in an entirely new location: Rio de Janeiro.
This is not a surprise given that Rowling already admitted the focus of
Fantastic Beasts saga would eventually lead to Dumbledore and Grindelwald's duel in 1945.
Fantastic Beasts 3 is set for release in November 2021.
