Director David Yates gave an update about the beleaguered franchise, which halted after three of its five planned films were released.
“With Beasts for a minute, it’s all just parked,” Yates told the Inside Total Film podcast. “We got to the end of [
the third film, 2020’s Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore and we’re all so proud of that movie, and when it went out into the world, we just needed to sort of stop and pause, and take it easy.”
