Open Casting Calls for Fantastic Beasts Sequels: A Look at What's to Come

The casting of a young Leta would suggest that her character might have a bigger role in the sequel, which is something fans are eagerly anticipating. The news follows on from the announcement that Jude Law will play the adult Dumbledore in the next installment of the Fantastic Beasts series.

Leta Lestrange was introduced in the first film as having a close friendship with Newt Scamander at Hogwarts, and her photograph was seen in Newt's workshop. This has left fans wondering about their relationships and pasts, which will be explored further in the sequel. The casting of teenage versions of Newt and Leta is sure to intrigue Harry Potter fans and drive speculation about the next film's story.

In addition to these characters, Warner Bros. is also looking for young actors to portray Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore as teenagers. This is significant because audiences will not know until next summer if this plan has worked, but if WB's early look at the movie gives them the impression that taking more time worked, they may simply plan to take more time with every movie in the franchise.

The studio has put out an open casting call for three actors between 13 and 16 years old to play young versions of Newt, Leta, and another character called Sebastian. This is part of a larger search for five new roles in the film, including teenage incarnations of Newt Scamander, Leta Lestrange, Gellert Grindelwald, and Albus Dumbledore.

The decision to delay Fantastic Beasts 3 was likely influenced by the fact that the second film did not perform as well with audiences as expected. However, it may simply be a desire to make the next movies better. Director David Yates has been one of the core architects of the Wizarding World on the big screen, having helmed the final four Harry Potter franchise films and all three of the Fantastic Beasts movies.

The future of the franchise is unclear, but fans are excited to see what's in store. With these new casting calls, it looks like Warner Bros. is committed to bringing the Wizarding World back to life on the big screen.
