J.K. Rowling Confirms That The 'Fantastic Beasts' Franchise Will Span Over 20 Years
With the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them over the weekend, author J.K. Rowling took to Twitter with a Q & A to answer her fans' questions. She held the Q & A on Monday, and addressed questions such as did Frank make it safely to Arizona, was Newt a Hufflepuff and why did they change the franchise from three films to five?
Yes and yes! https://t.co/SF7rxMd42f

Our story starts in 1926 and ends in 1945. It's just too big to fit in one movie! https://t.co/fb5GOGvTxq

Rowling confirmed that the Fantastic Beasts franchise will span across two decades, and will finish in 1945 with the onset of WW2. This has fans frothing at the mouth, and confirms that Grindelwald, played by none other than Johnny Depp, can be compared to a kind of Hitler-esque Wizard Facist.
If this doesn't get you excited for the next film, I don't know what will.
