Meanwhile, Newt Scamander works to get the travel ban lifted. The British Ministry of Magic responds in the affirmative, on one condition; Newt must help his brother Theseus search for Grindelwald.
In response, Newt refuses, as he doesn’t want to work for Grimmson. Theseus learns that Credence is in Paris. Upon gaining this information, Albus Dumbledor makes a request to Newt to help Credence. This is because Credence believes Leta Lestrange is her long-lost sister. Meanwhile, Queenie and Jacob come to visit Newt at his home. Together they enter this road that will lead to Paris.
3) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3 (2022)
Our untitled film, which will tell about the aftermath of the second film, will be released in 2022. David Yates sits in the director’s chair again. Part of the film takes place in Rio de Janeiro and part of it takes place in Berlin. It tells about the wizarding world’s involvement with the Second World War. It is scheduled to be released in July 2022.
It was normally expected to be released on November 12, 2021, but the release date was delayed due to the sudden departure of Johnny Depp, who plays the character of Grindelwald, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The uneventful release of the much-anticipated third movie is a thrill for fans!
