They will definitely all have Fantastic Beasts in the title. It WOULD be a marketing nightmare if they didn’t. I don’t think it will be that hard to keep Newt and his friends and the beasts as connective tissue as they travel to these different countries and locations and entwine with the Grindelwald story in 5 movies. I think it will be magnificent. Unless, of course, the first film flops, which I’m hoping and praying it won’t. I can’t be promised five more Wizarding World movies only to have my hopes and dreams crushed after only the first one.
I’m imagining that all the movies will have only the “Fantastic”on the title.
It’s a word that I think that also refers to magic! so each movie could refer to a specific thing… Beasts, Schools, Wars, People, whatever. It’d be the “Fantastic” saga, the “Fantastic” movies. Thats awesome, right? I mean, we know they will indeed BE fantastic hahaha
I don’t like pay-to-play games either. 🙁
