There was a pretty big gap between the final Harry Potter movie and the first Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but Warner Bros. isn’t going to be making fans wait that long to return to the wizarding world this time around.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them went on to gross $812 million worldwide which is a little low for something in the Harry Potter franchise, but pretty astounding considering the famed wizard’s name was nowhere to be found in the marketing for this movie.
Before the first movie was even released, Fantastic Beasts 2 was announced, and since Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them made good money, the sequel is already well underway.
Director David Yates is also set to return after helming the last four Harry Potter movies in addition to the first Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
