With production expected to start on Monday in the U.K., sources tell Variety that Warner Bros. has postponed production on the third installment of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”
Like with so many productions that have already stalled due to the coronavirus pandemic, it’s unknown how long the postponement will be or whether it will have an effect on the release date.
The film stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Paterson, Zoe Kravitz and Dan Folger, and David Yates is returning to direct.
The movie is one of the last major Hollywood productions to delay its shoot. Warner Bros. announced on Friday that it would be postponing “The Batman” shoot while it moved locations to Liverpool, but was holding out hope that they could make it work for “Fantastic Beasts,” which was using the same sound stage.
More to come.
