Fans around the world have been intrigued with the magical world of Hogwarts and were eager to follow up with its spin-off seriesFantastic Beasts.While the first film was a critical and commercial success, its sequels failed to gain the same reception, ranking as the lowest-grossing movies under the franchise.

We’d committed to the first one…,”he said during an appearance on theInside Total Filmpodcast before adding,“I’m sure at some point, we’ll be back.”However, he also stated that he has not talked about the same with theHarry Potterauthor, producer, or the studio.
“I haven’t spoken to Warner Bros; we’re just taking a pause. It’s quite nice. It allows me to do stuff like this,”he said, referring to his latest crime drama,Pain Hustlers, starring Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. The director has expressed his desire to work on some“real world”movies after spending a long time working on the magical franchise.
