Earlier, Fantastic Beasts 3 was scheduled to release on July 15, next year. However, the makers pushed the date. The film is now slated for a theatrical release on April 15, 2022.

Talking about Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the official logline reads: “Professor Albus Dumbledore knows the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald is moving to seize control of the wizarding world.” It further reads: “Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?”

The Fantastic Beasts franchise is a prequel spin-off set in the Wizard world. Fantastic Beasts 3 stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler and Jessica Williams. Mads Mikkelsen will be stepping into the role of Grindelwald, once played by Johnny Depp, after the actor’s departure from the franchise.

Depp had issued a statement, announcing he’s stepping down from the role as the dark lord Grindelwald, which he played in the first two films of Fantastic Beasts. These developments came after Depp lost the libel trial case against a British tabloid that alleged he is a ‘wife beater’ in a 2018 article.
