There is little doubt that Fantastic Beasts 3 is still one of Warner Bros.' biggest projects right now. However, it looks like the studio already has other plans for the Harry Potter franchise. A new leak suggests that a new Harry Potter movie is being developed and Daniel Radcliffe could reprise his role as the Boy Who Lived.
The revelation comes from insider Daniel Richtman who shared the intel on his Patreon page (via Giant Freakin Robot). According to Richtman, Radcliffe and the rest of the Harry Potter cast have been in discussion with Warner Bros. about a possible reunion.
This is exciting news for fans who are hoping to see the original Harry Potter cast together again. However, it is important to point out that these plans have not pushed through just yet due to COVID-19. Nevertheless, there is a chance that the studio will still pursue it in the future.
It's no surprise that Warner Bros. is looking towards the original Harry Potter franchise these days. After all, the Fantastic Beasts franchise has been plagued with problems from the start. There are now speculations that the studio is hoping to get fans back by bringing in the original cast in a completely new Harry Potter project.
Warner Bros. recently asked Johnny Depp to step down from Fantastic Beasts 3 and the role of Gellert Grindelwald has been recast with Hannibal actor Mads Mikkelsen. The sequel is currently in production and is scheduled for release in Summer 2022. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
