Fantastic Beasts 3
The shoot for Warner Bros’ Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3 has come to an unexpected halt after an unspecified crew member tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.
Out of an abundance of caution, Fantastic Beasts 3 paused production and will be back up in accordance with safety guidelines. A Warner Bros. spokesperson told Variety, “A team member from Fantastic Beasts 3 has tested positive for COVID-19. The diagnosis was confirmed as a result of required and ongoing testing that all production employees receive, and the team member is currently in isolation.”
It was due to begin shooting in March 2020, but the first wave of the pandemic pushed shooting back to September.
Based on characters created by JK Rowling, the Harry Potter spin-off was in production at the Warner Bros. studio facility in Leavesden, UK. It is directed by
David Yates, who also directed the first two instalments of the franchise and several Harry Potter films, and stars Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law.
