Is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3 in trouble? A Twitter account shared information on the third installment of the saga, suggesting the movie will not be ready for its premiere in 2022.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a prequel series to the Harry Potter series. But while Harry Potter is one of the most beloved series of all times, Fantastic Beasts falls short, despite having J.K. Rowling attached directly as a screenwriter..
The series is set for a five movie series, and there’s only been two at the moment. The first one, introducing the series, was pretty well received, but the other wasn’t so critically acclaimed.
Then, it was the problem with Johnny Depp, who ended up having to back out of the series. The studio (Warner Bros) kind of pressured Johnny Depp into exiting the series following his “wife-beater” accusations towards his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Mads Mikkelsen will replace Depp as Grindelwald in the remaining three films.
Then, the pandemic hit, and the third movie ended up with a 2022 premiere date.
But Twitter account Wizarding News has just shared some major information on the franchise. Is Fantastic Beast 3 in trouble? The account surely suggests so.
In a series of tweets, the account shared a source revealed the movie is “such bad condition, requires a ton of re-shoots, has scheduling conflicts with the [remaining] actors (Depp wasn’t the only one replaced!), and now could be delayed to 2023.”
Also, it alleges Warner Bros isn’t happy with the franchise.

Just like the series of tweets say, it’s less likely that Warner Bros would confirm the news.
The movie’s official premiere date was on 12 November 2021. But due to the pandemic, the new premiere date should be on 15 July 2022.
