Fantastic Beasts 3, 4, 5: The Future of the Franchise

In a recent interview, J.K. Rowling revealed her plan to give herself five years to re-write and re-cast the first three Fantastic Beasts screenplays, which will be followed by the release of the fourth film as a novel. This planned delay in film releases may seem disappointing to fans, but it actually has several advantages.

Firstly, it allows Rowling to take her time to perfect the storylines and characters, ensuring that the next films are up to par with the original trilogy. Secondly, this break will give Warner Brothers-Discovery time to re-evaluate their strategy for the franchise, which may have contributed to the lackluster performance of the first three films.

So, when can we expect the fourth Fantastic Beasts film? According to simple math, it would be released in 2029 or 2030. But what about the story itself? Rowling has hinted that she will set the clock of film releases parallel to the events in the story, which means we could see the next film taking place in 1939.

The fifth and final installment is likely to take place in 1945, with a battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald being the epic conclusion. The latest film, Secrets of Dumbledore, is set in 1932, leaving a gap of seven years that the fourth film must fill.

While some fans may be concerned about the future of the franchise, I believe there are ways to revive and reinvigorate Fantastic Beasts. One option could be for Rowling to focus on writing novels instead of screenplays, allowing Warner Brothers-Discovery to adapt them into films.

This approach has been successful in the past with Harry Potter, and it may be the key to unlocking a new era of success for Fantastic Beasts. With Rowling's talent and creativity at the helm, I'm confident that the franchise will continue to thrive and captivate audiences worldwide.
