What happens next in the Fantastic Beasts franchise?

Whatever it is, these questions better get some screentime…

Warning: This article contains MAJOR spoilers for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

This means that we had plenty of burning questions leaving the theater.

Here are our nine most pressing…

Is Credence really dead?

Did theyreallykill off Ezra Miller?

You cant get rid of him that easily.

(Something tells me this decision might go hand and hand with Millers The Flash filming schedule.)

Update: It seems that we already have an answer to this question.

Sounds like we might be seeing more of the Obscurial moving forward…

What happened to the real Graves?

At the end ofFantastic Beasts, we find out that Percival Graves is really Gellert Grindelwald in disguise.

Though the topic is never specifially addressed, it seems likely that there is arealGraves whose identity Grindelwald stole.

Fans of Harry Potter will know this is a classic Rowling move, i.e.

This remains to be seen.

Thus, it remains to be seen if Colin Farrell will return for futureFantastic Beastsmovies.

Does Jacob remember anything?

But… what if he does?

Perhaps a Pensieve might be involved?

Isnt there an easier way for a wizard to traverse the Atlantic?

Did Newt seriously take a steamliner in his adventures around the world because that soundstediousfor a wizard.

Has the international wizarding community not yet worked out international portkeys?

Does magic progress at a similar rate to technology?

Does Newt just really love weeks-long ocean travel?

How will this affect Tina and Newts transatlantic romance?

I need to know.

What happened to Modesty?

How does Grindelwald escape?

We know that Grindelwald has to break out of MACUSA custody sooner rather than later, right?

He has a whole era of magical fascism to bring about.

Where did Newt get his wand?

We know that Newt was expelled from Hogwarts for endangering fellow classmates with a magical beast.

The same thing happened to Hagrid.

The thing is, when this happened to Hagrid, his wand was snapped.

Hagrid was forced to use magic discreetly with the aid of his totally normal and definitely not wand-infused umbrella.

So why is Newt allowed his wand and free-range of his magic?

Did the policy change between when Newt was expelled and when Hagrid was expelled?

Or does Newt just not care?

Whats the deal with Newts brother?

(OK, you caught me.

Thats Eddie Redmaynes real life brother, but just go with it.)

We get a brief mention of Newts brother in the scene involving the gathering of international wizards.

Apparently, he was a war hero.

You know, if youre taking requests, J.K. Rowling.

Does the MACUSA really execute people that easily?

Is this typical behavior for Aurors in America?

Because thats really scary.
