Eddie Redmayne On Future Of ‘Fantastic Beasts’; Teases “Glimpse” Of Newt Scamander At Universal Epic Universe Theme Park
deadline.comEddie Redmayne says the audience has most likely seen the last of Newt Scamander, the character he played in the Fantastic Beasts film series.
The actor said in a new interview that the series is possibly over, but fans will maybe get a “glimpse” of what Newt has been up to following the trilogy of films. “I think they probably have,” Redmayne told ComicBook about whether the audience had seen the last of Newt. “That was a very frank answer, but yeah.
