We assumed this would be the case anyway, but with Warner Bros. announcing a host of upcoming release dates – including its plans for a DC Cinematic Universe – it has now been confirmed that the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be “at least” a trilogy.
Following the already announced date for the first movie of November 8th, 2016, the as-yet-untitled second and third movies will hit in 2018 and 2020 respectively. David Yates – director of the last four Harry Potter films – is set to return to direct the first movie, with Potter screenwriter Steve Kloves also involved in some capacity (helping J.K. Rowling with the scripts, perhaps?).
Are you excited for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? Let us know…
