| | |  Zoe Kravitz teases 'Fantastic Beasts' character Leta Lestrange around for entire saga
In an extended interview with Collider (teaser was released a few weeks back), actress Zoe Kravitz spoke a bit more about her character in the Fantastic Beasts movie series, where she plays Leta Lestrange, former girlfriend and companion of lead Newt Scamander (portrayed by Eddie Redmayne).
Of particular note was that Kravitz implied that Leta would be around for the duration of the series, not just a bigger role in the second movie. More on that can be read below.
Quote: You’re also a part of the Fantastic Beasts films, and we hear your role is going to be even bigger in the sequel.
ZOE KRAVITZ: Yeah, it’s very exciting! Yeah, it wasn’t much, in the first one.
Have you started shooting that yet?
KRAVITZ: No, that starts in June or July, I think. It’s sometime in the summer. I’m very excited. The one day I was on set for that, and also for my audition process, being able to work with Eddie [Redmayne] and David [Yates] was incredible. The script was very under wraps, so even signing onto it, I hadn’t read the script. I just went off of who was involved, and J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter films, so I knew it was going to be incredible, especially with how involved J.K. is. And then, I got to see the film, after I was already signed on, and it exceeded my expectations. That was a really interesting experience, to sit back and watch a movie that you loved, and then get to walk out and say, “I get to be in that!” It’s a very cool thing.
Have they told you how much more you’ll get to be in?
KRAVITZ: I think there’s a few ahead. The relationship between Leta and Newt Scamander is a complex relationship, so I think there will be a lot of time for that to grow and develop, which will be fun.
Is it cool to be a part of a franchise like that, where you know there’s a built-in audience for it, but unlike Harry Potter, audience don’t know what to expect from it?
KRAVITZ: Yeah, that’s true. J.K. has created an entire world now, that can go beyond Harry Potter. It’s this universe that people are so excited to step inside of. To get the element of surprise mixed with that world is the dream. And the fact that it’s set in the ‘20s and it’s a whole different time period, it’s exciting.
Have you gotten a peak at the script for the next film yet?
KRAVITZ: I know nothing! I have an idea, based off of when I auditioned, but I know nothing. Even when I went to go do my chemistry read with Eddie, he was trying to help me piece together what was happening in the scene that we were reading. He doesn’t get to see anything either, so he was like, “I think based off of this line and this line, and what we shot here and here, this is what’s going on.” We had to guess. It was funny to watch him, trying to piece it all together.

| Wowza!
Leta and Newt's relationship is like the one reason I'm looking forward to the sequel, so this is pretty exciting news for me.

I have to say I absolutely am in #TeamTina, so I don't really like Leta... 
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how it will continue (expecially because we already know how it will end  )! | |

Quite true! I can't help but wonder if Jo regrets writing down who Newt married, 'cause now we know one big thing for certain. Actually two, since we know neither Newt or Tina will die. 
But even still, I'm super excited for Leta. :cheers:
