Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore just announced itself to the world. Harry Potter fans probably weren’t expecting this news this morning but here we are. The last Fantastic Beasts project performed strongly as always and this entry will likely do the same. Dumbledore is a figure that many original Potter fans will always line up to see more of. Things will be a little bit different in Fantastic Beasts 3 as Mads Mikkelsen will step in for Johnny Depp in this entry. A lot of fervor among the fanbase frothed at this decision but Warner Bros. announced it to the entire world last year. The Secrets of Dumbledore was originally supposed to hit theaters in July of 2022. But, the company has bumped things up to April 15th. It would be hard not to speculate that this change is probably motivated by some of the stronger box office performances in recent months.
