Fantastic Beasts 3 Gets November 2021 Release Date

Attachment 24510

Fantastic Beasts 3 has been officially scheduled for a November 2021 release date. After the film adaptations of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels concluded in 2011 with The Deathly Hallows Part 2, the property went dormant on the big screen for a handful of years. But something as popular as the Wizarding World was never going to stay away for long. In 2016, the franchise returned with a spinoff/prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which kicked off a five-movie series detailing the conflict against the dark wizard Grindelwald.

The first Fantastic Beasts earned generally positive reviews and $814 million worldwide, but last year's sequel, The Crimes of Grindelwald, fared much worse. Hamstrung by negative reactions, the film grossed $653.7 million globally, becoming the lowest grossing Potter film to date. While plans remained in place for a third installment, Warner Bros. announced earlier this year that filming would begin later than anticipated, leading some to believe its projected 2020 debut would be delayed. Now, Fantastic Beasts 3 is on the slate for 2021.

According to The Wrap, WB will release Fantastic Beasts 3 on November 12, 2021. Production on the film is scheduled to commence in spring 2020.
