The Fantastic Beasts franchise, a spin-off from the beloved Harry Potter series, finds itself on shaky ground. Director David Yates has revealed that the series is currently on hold and not a priority for Warner Bros. Discovery. What's more, the initial plan for a five-movie series was not the studio's idea but a spontaneous revelation by author J.K. Rowling, catching the creative team off guard during a press event for the first film. The franchise's future looks uncertain due to declining box office earnings, an identity crisis that transformed the narrative, controversies surrounding cast changes and J.K.

For fans of the magical world, it seems the Fantastic Beasts series is currently under a spell of uncertainty, with no new movies in sight. Read more
