British actor Jude Law, who plays young Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter spin-off movie Fantastic Beasts, gave an interview to the publication. Diversity He stated that the creators shut down production on the films and only released three of the five announced films.
“I know that (production of new films – socialbites.ca) is definitely on hold,” Lowe said about the future of the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
He claimed that this was because the series was based on the original books. According to him, they decided to spend all their energy on this series.
Also, the actor recalled his first meetings with the author of books about the boy wizard JK Rowling in 2017, during which he gave tips on how to correctly convey the character of young Dumbledore. The author specifically said that Dumbledore saw himself as a monster, so he liked the main character of the spin-offs, Newt Scamander, a zoologist wizard who loved monsters and cared for them.
The Fantastic Beasts series began in 2016 with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Five films were initially announced, with scripts written by Rowling herself. The first film showed a good box office ($814 million), but each subsequent film grossed less and less (The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) – $654 million and The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022) – $407 million).
