Will this be pushed back because of COVID-19? That has been happening to a lot of productions (Examples: Stranger Things 4 and A Quiet Place Part 2)

Some good news!

It was reported that Fantastic Beasts 3 filming restarted this month (September, as said by Eddie Redmayne) and it is going quite well. For now, the current release date still holds and the staff is tentatively hopeful that it will remain so as it was already pushed back a year (from November 2020 to November 2021).

Unfortunately, some bad news for us Harry Potter fans.

Due to the current world situation and a prominent cast replacement, the due date has been pushed to summer 2022, with some sources saying the more detailed date is July 15th 2022.

[Prof. Maxim Trevelyan]

Happy news! We have a title and a definite release date.

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore will release on April 15th 2022!

What do you guys think about the title?

[Prof. Sindor Aloyarc]

I’m SO intrigued to see this!! Dumbledore’s arc over the course of the series, looking back on characters like him and Snape is so fascinating how perspectives can change over time and with new information. Will look forward to seeing what kinds of revelations about Albus arise in this movie, and how it might dontinue to color/recolor the way we see his role in the Potterverse.

How did I not know about this?!? I'm so excited now! That's right around my anniversary

[Skylar Peyton]

I am so excited for the new movie! I was really hoping for it to be released this year, but I guess next year will have to do. I can't wait!

And for the title, I really like it "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore". It sounds like it's going to be a bit more about Dumbledore and we might see more of the story between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. I can't wait to see it and I hope there will be more after it!

[Willow Carter]

I'm so excited for the movie. I'm kinda upset that Johnny Depp won't be in it, but I'm obviously still going to watch it. I really like the title, 'Secrets of Dumbledore', because it indicates the movie is going to be more about Dumbledore. Also, it reminds me of Rita Skeeter's book, 'The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore', which is where we learned most about his past with Grindelwald.
