New York, London och sedan Paris
Warner Bros. have confirmed that the new Fantastic Beasts film will be heading to New York, to London, and then on to Paris. The film is set in 1927, months after Newt helped in the capture of Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald.
At the end of the first film, Newt leaves New York on a boat set for Europe. As principle photography began at Leavesden today, Warner Bros. revealed that New York, London and Paris will feature in the film.

Paris, Frankrike och U.K.
Det här läcktes först av produktionsdesignern Stuart Craig under en intervju med SnitchSeeker under april.
SnitchSeeker: What should we look forward to with Fantastic Beasts? Because you’ve been working on that for the last year now?
Stuart Craig: Fantastic Beasts – there are hints and references to Harry Potter. It’s set in France, in Paris, in 1926. There is no script yet. The script’s being furiously written by the very prolific J.K. Rowling. And that’s all I can say about it – Paris, 1926.
Eftersom den första filmen äger rum i mitten av december 1926, skulle detta sätta den andra filmen som några dagar efter det första, men Rowling har sagt att detta inte är så (se nedan).
I oktober bekräftade regissören David Yates (under IMAX Fan Event ) att uppföljaren skulle vara i en annan stad :
We next see Newt in another big capital city, and it’s not going to be New York, It’s somewhere else entirely.
Och senare bekräftade David Yates i December 2016 utgåva av Empire Magazine att denna stad skulle vara Paris:
What we do know is that the already underway sequel will travel to Paris. And it will be as colossal as a Ukrainian Ironbelly dragon. “It’s quite ambitious,” understates Yates, who is set to return alongside the likes of production designer Stuart Craig, cinematographer Philippe Rousselot and costume designer Colleen Atwood. “Stuart is unflappable and indefatigable, but when he saw the script for Beasts 2, he said, ‘Let me just think about it for a minute...’”Leprechauns in the Louvre? Sea Serpents in the Seine? Anything’s possible. Maybe even a Flobberworm.
Senare i november klargjorde David Yates under filmens pressjobb att den andra filmen också kommer att ställas in i Storbritannien.
There have been a lot of rumors that the second movie is going to take place in Paris. Can you confirm or deny that?
David Yates: We confirm it.
Do you think the trend will continue that the other movies will be in different cities, countries – and will they go back to the UK?
David Yates: We do go back to the UK in the second film as well. So it’s in the UK and Paris. I’m not quite sure where Jo’s setting the rest of the movies. I think they’ll be European-centric, but I’m not sure yet because it’s still bubbling in her head.
David Heyman: We’re trying to figure out where we want to go on holiday. (laughs)
David Yates: The Carribbean would be good. I think it will be difficult to ignore America in this one, but the next one is Europe.
På Twitter , bekräftade Rowling sig själv Paris-inställningen och sa att det skulle finnas en liten tidsgap mellan de två filmerna .
SnitchSeeker.com: EXCLUSIVE: 'Fantastic Beasts' sequel set to begin in Paris 1926, days after first movie timeline
J.K. Rowling: This isn't correct, I'm afraid! The sequel doesn't begin days after first movie ends (although we do go to Paris.)
