During a recent interview with Cinema Blend, producer David Heyman opened up about plans for the sequels to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and an alternate ending to the current film. If you haven’t seen the film yet, STOP READING THIS… spoilers. Here are highlights:
On if Newt Scamander will be the star of all the films: “I don’t think [Newt will be at] the heart of all of them. I think he’ll be part — so will Tina, Queenie and Jacob — will be part of the next one. And Credence and Grindelwald. I think they will be the main players.”
On the alternate ending for the first film: “We actually had a scene, which we cut, which was Credence going to a boat, to get on a boat somewhere else. But we cut that, because we didn’t want to have it be such an, ‘Ahhh, here we go.’ Him getting on a boat, maybe a boat with Newt, maybe not, and heading off out of New York.”
