Fantastic Beasts 4 Release Date Estimate, News & Updates

Discussing the release date for “Fantastic Beasts 4” is a hot topic among Wizarding World enthusiasts. This upcoming movie, part of the Harry Potter prequel series, was anticipated to further Newt Scamander and Gellert Grindelwald’s tale after the events depicted in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022). Lately, certain news has sparked concerns regarding the movie’s prospects.

What is the Fantastic Beasts 4 release date estimate?

The Fantastic Beasts 4 release date estimate is not currently expected.

According to statements from both Eddie Redmayne and director David Yates, it appears that the Newt character may not be seen again in future Fantastic Beasts films. As of early 2022, there’s no active script development for the franchise.

Instead of moving forward with Fantastic Beasts 5, Warner Bros. Discovery is currently prioritizing a new Harry Potter series on HBO, as production for this project is now in progress. Consequently, there have been no announcements regarding the continuation of the Fantastic Beasts franchise at this time.

Fantastic Beasts 4 news and updates

The most recent updates suggest the franchise is dormant.

Redmayne’s comments, coupled with Jude Law stating “it seems to be paused,” suggest that the project is currently inactive. Warner Bros hasn’t officially cancelled it yet, but they appear to be focusing their efforts on other Wizarding World ventures such as the HBO reboot and theme park expansions instead.

Although the future of Fantastic Beasts 4 is yet undecided, it might carry on the narrative initiated in The Secrets of Dumbledore. In the third movie, Grindelwald went into hiding and Albus Dumbledore was finally liberated to face him head-on, paving the way for a more intense showdown.

The expected cast could include:

  • Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander
  • Jude Law as Albus Dumbledore
  • Mads Mikkelsen as Gellert Grindelwald
  • Ezra Miller as Credence
  • Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski

However, none of these returns have been confirmed due to the film’s stalled status.
