It looks like we’re going to meet some of Newt Scamander’s relatives in the second Fantastic Beasts movie, as Variety reports that Callum Turner (Green Room, War & Peace), will play Newt’s brother.
No info about his role in the plot has been released, although it’s been suggested the character will be called Theseus Scamander, so perhaps there will be some echoes of the Greek hero who fought the minotaur. As well as Newt and his brother, the film will follow a troubled young Dumbledore, with the planned next four movies charting how he ended up in a climactic battle with Johnny Depp’s evil Grindelwald.
David Yates will one more direct the Paris-set sequel, which is due to start shooting this summer, for release at the end of 2018.
