The official logline per Variety is: “Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers.  But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?”

David Yates, who worked on Harry Potter, will be returning to direct the third film. The prequel series takes place decades before Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and follows magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), who became a confidant for Dumbledore (Jude Law) during the rise of Grindelwald.

Mads Mikkelsen is replacing Johnny Depp as Grindelwald. The cast also includes Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, and Jessica Williams.

J.K. Rowling and Steve Cloves, who worked on many of the original Harry Potter movies, are co-writing the script for the third film.

Depp released an official statement announcing his departure and said that Warner Bros. asked him to resign from his role as Gellert Grindelwald. The actor added that he “respected and agreed to that request”, and thanked the fans for their support.

Warner Bros. also released a brief statement announcing Depp’s exit, and thanked the actor “for his work on the films to date”. They added that the role of Gellert Grindelwald will be recast and that we’ll have to wait until the summer of 2022 to see the third Fantastic Beasts movie.

This project started shooting in September after a pandemic-related delay, with Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, and Jude Law returning to their respective roles.

The first movie in this fantasy series premiered in 2016 and introduced us to Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and his wide assortment of strange magical creatures. Its follow-up raised the stakes and added the already established characters Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) to the mix.

Fantastic Beasts 3 will premiere on November 12, 2021 – but it will be worth the wait, according to Toby Emmerich, chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

“We are incredibly excited about and have confidence in the Fantastic Beasts series, We all believe this release date will give the filmmakers time and space to allow their artistry to truly flourish and deliver the best possible film to our fans,” said Emmerich in an official press release.
