In just a few days, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will premiere and fans are going crazy with excitement! So much so, that the "Harry Potter" spinoff movie is now being talked about having a sequel already. In fact, speculations say that Johnny Depp is already confirmed to play Gellert Grindelwald in "Fantastic Beasts 2".
'Fantastic Beasts' 2 Will Soon Follow?
Director David Yates recently talked about the casting of "Fantastic Beasts 2", dropping hints about Gellert Grindelwald. He was quoted saying that "Fantastic Beasts" 2 will see less of the beasts and more of Johnny Depp's Grindelwald per The Leaky Cauldron.
More so, the showrunner also teased fans that there will be an amazing beast in "Fantastic Beasts 2". This beast is actually a Chinese-beast but he was quick to add that this isn't the only beast the sequel will feature. He said that the team is exploring ways on how they can integrate more beasts in the sequel.
This isn't correct, I'm afraid! The sequel doesn't begin days after first movie ends (although we do go to Paris.) https://t.co/lkvIozKweU

"Fantastic Beasts 2" will see Newt Scamander traveling to France from the United Kingdom. The purpose is still unknown but this could pave way for him to meet the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in France.
J.K. Rowling Shots Down 'Fantastic Beasts 2' Rumors?
Meanwhile, Cinema Blend reached out to J.K Rowling to take her side on the rumors surrounding "Fantastic Beasts 2". Warner Bros and Rowling are already occupied, scouting for places to take the Wizarding World next.
"Fantastic Beasts 2" is set to be released two years from now yet, production has started working for the next installment. Previous reports say that "Fantastic Beasts 2" will pick up moments after the first installment ended. Rowling took to Twitter to debunk this rumor and said that sequel won't begin days after the first movie ended.
This means "Fantastic Beasts 2" will pick up probably years from when the first title ended. "Fantastic Beasts 2" is set to hit the theaters on November 18.
