Fantastic Beasts 4 (2025) is set to continue the Wizarding World franchise, following the narrative established in the previous films. Directed by David Yates and produced by J.K. Rowling, the film is anticipated to explore the expanding conflicts in the magical world, particularly the growing tension between the protagonist, Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), and the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, whose role is now being played by Mads Mikkelsen.
After the success of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018), and The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022), the fourth film aims to delve deeper into the backstory of the characters and the broader global conflicts of the magical world. While plot details remain under wraps, the continuation is expected to build towards the legendary duel between Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore, played by Jude Law.
The film’s production faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pushing back its original timeline. However, with a projected release in 2025, fans are eager to see how the story unfolds. The ensemble cast, including Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Ezra Miller, is expected to return, continuing the rich tapestry of magical lore introduced in the previous films.
