Late last year, it was reported that accomplished thespian Mads Mikkelsen is replacing Johnny Depp in the role of Grindelwald. Moreover, David Yates is back to direct the feature with David Heyman and the problematic J.K. Rowling on board as executive producers. The screenplay hails from Rowling and Steve Kloves (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2).
The Fantastic Beasts film series serves as a spinoff and prequel to the Harry Potter franchise. The first two installments follow British wizard and magizoologist Newt Scamander as he travels worldwide in an attempt to rescue and care for magical creatures. However, embarks on a much bigger journey thanks to his mentor Albus Dumbledore. The films feature an A-list cast including Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Jude Law, and Zoë Kravitz. The series touts a combined $375 million at the worldwide box office, so far.
