Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law Confirm 'Fantastic Beasts' Franchise Ends as Warner Bros. Shifts Focus to 'Harry Potter' TV Series
Oct 30, 2024, 03:12 PM
The 'Fantastic Beasts' film franchise will not be returning, according to statements from key actors and sources. Eddie Redmayne, who played Newt Scamander, confirmed that the series is likely over, stating, 'As far as I know, that’s it.' Jude Law, who portrayed Dumbledore, echoed this sentiment, noting that Warner Bros. is shifting its focus to a new 'Harry Potter' television series. Law added that the franchise is 'certainly on hold.' The decision marks the end of a series that expanded the 'Harry Potter' universe but faced mixed reception and declining box office returns over its five-film run. However, Redmayne teased a 'glimpse' of Newt Scamander at the Universal Epic Universe theme park.
