Here's something new from the Harry Potter spin off as "Gravity" director Alfonso Cuaron is in talks for directing Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them, plus Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is rumored to return in the spin off.
With the announcement of the release date of Fantastic and Where to find Them scheduled on Nov. 18, 2016, and the rumored appearances of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson in the spin off. It seems like the Harry Potter spin off will be a must watch for many Harry Potter fans and wizarding world fanatics all around world. But, there are still questions on who the cast members are in the movie, and who will direct it?
According to Cinema Blend, "Gravity: director Alfonso Cuaron is rumored to be in talks for directing Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them. Alfonso Cuaron is no stranger to Harry Potter franchise, nearly a decade before he racked up critical accolades for his high-grossing, space thriller Gravity; he directed the third Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Although Prisoner of Azkaban was considered the lowest-grossing Potter film, it earned the blockbuster franchise greater respects in Cuaron's artistic merits.
Further evidence to support this is shown as Nikki Finke tweeted the possibility of Cuaron doing the Harry Potter spin off.
Meanwhile, another Harry Potter rumor has been hinted as Albus Dumbledore will make an appearance in the movie. According to a Harry Potter fanpage, Warner Bros. expressed an interest in adding Dumbledore in Fantastic Beast, but whether it would be a full appearance or a cameo has not yet been confirmed. There are also hints that a younger Dumbledore will appear, since the plot of Fantastic Beast is set 70 years before the first Harry Potter movie, and its treatment will probably the same as that of The Hobbit.
