Eddie Redmayne doesn't think we'll see more of Fantastic Beasts

It's been eight years since the release ofFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themand two years since the release of the latest in the series. According to the actor behind Newt Scamander, we will not see the last two planned films in the series.

"He may come back as a glimpse"

As reported byComicBook.com, "NeitherFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of GrindelwaldnorFantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledorecould achieve the critical or commercial success of the first film in the series." Eddie Redmayne, in a recent interview about his new project,Day of the Jackal,said that "I think they have [seen the last of Newt]...And that's as far as I know...I think he may come back in a glimpse in the Universal world in Florida that they're opening up, in which you may catch a glimpse of what he was up to in Paris."

The series was originally meant to be an arc of five stories which cover not only Newt's magizoological adventures, but the fight against Gellert Grindelwald. J.K. Rolwingsaid as muchin October 2016 at a fan event. According to the author/screenwriter, "We always knew that it was going to be more than one movie...But now I've done the plotting properly, so we're pretty sure it's going to be five movies."

In spite of the reviews onRotten Tomatoesthat says it "dazzles with franchise-building magic all its own," there were hindrances to filming.CinemaBlendreported that the third movie was "pushed back following a lukewarm reception to part two...but it looks likeFantastic Beasts 4may also see a significant delay." Eddie Redmayne has since been a powerhouse on screen and stage, whether as Charles Cullen inThe Good Nurseor as the dynamic and gender-fluid Emcee inCabaretin the West End and on Broadway.

For now, we may not ever know the full details of the Dumbledore-Grindelwald duel in 1945. We can't see the workings of the people who were loyal to him throughout the wizarding world. But as always, we can dream.
