Fantastic Beasts 4 is the anticipated sequel to Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, though Newt Scamander’s return for another Wizarding World movie isn’t certain. The Fantastic Beasts franchise, a prequel series set decades before the Harry Potter films, has not had the smoothest journey. Between the release of the second and third films, the role of Grindelwald was recast, and J.K. Rowling was at the center of controversy. The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third installment, following Albus Dumbledore, Newt Scamander, and their allies as they aim to stop Gellert Grindelwald taking over the Wizarding World.
