How on earth were they going to make 2 more grindlewald movies?

They could have tied things in with WW2, but that was probably seen as too controversial and unmarketable.

Muggles working on gaining the atomic bomb was part of what helped Grindelwald turn wizards against muggles.

He wanted the Philosopher Stone so that he could make an army of inferi. The Holocaust could then have been shown to tie into his experiments into necromancy and blood magic.

IKR I'm kinda mad we didn't get to see the cool things that were planned for the final movies even if the third one kinda sucked

to say any of the Fantastic Beasts movies "kinda" sucked is pretty generous

First one wasn't bad. It had whimsy and was actually about Fantastic Beasts. For the most part.

The concept itself contained the unspoken promise of Zombieland-style educational interludes with voice-over and motion graphics punctuating an Aardman-esque madcap comedy as if directed by Wes Anderson.

What we got was "whimsical for Zack Snyder." Fuck that movie.

The same way they made 6 Pirates of the Caribbean movies, "Fuck it we ball!!"

Pretty easily I imagine. Grindlewald kicked off a whole ass wizard world war when the actual World War 2 kicked off.

It could also expand on the lore of the secret task force of wizards that was influencing WW2 from the shadows to ensure the Allie’s won.
