Warner Bros. forsøgte i lang tid at gøre Fantastic Beasts til en franchise på linje med de originale Harry Potter-film, men grundet sløv præstation i biograferne og ringe anmeldelser så satser de nu hele butikken på en storslået tv-serie, der skal fortolke bøgerne på ny, men naturligvis med forøget fokus på dybde.
Det efterlader Fantastic Beasts i en prekær situation, og spørger dog hovedrolleindehaver Eddie Redmayne, der spillede Newt Scamander i de tre film det blev til, så har vi set det sidste til den karakter. Han siger dette til ComicBook.com:
"I think they probably have [seen the last of Newt]. That was a very frank answer, but yeah. And that's as far as I know. I mean, you'd have to speak to the people at Warner Bros. and J.K Rowling, but as far as I know, that's it. I think he may come back in a glimpse in the Universal world in Florida that they're opening up, in which you may catch a glimpse of what he was up to in Paris."
Redmayne lader ikke til at have fået et tilbud om at vende tilbage i en fjerde film i serien.
