Dan Fogler: Fantastic Beasts 3 will contain epic battle scenes

Dan Fogler has teased that Fantastic Beasts 3 will contain "epic battle scenes".

The 43-year-old actor reprises his role as Jacob Kowalski in the J.K. Rowling's future movie, which is set around World War II.

Dan told Syfy Wire: "It's leading towards this massive war with the backdrop of World War II, so you can just imagine epic battle scenes are coming."

The Walking Dead star also claims that the latest instalment of the Harry Potter prequel series feels similar to the first film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

He explained: "I can say I read the script and the character development is really lovely and it's very similar to the feel of the first movie, which I think is great."

Shooting on the motion picture had been set to begin in London two weeks ago, but has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and Dan is hopeful that work on the project will begin soon.

He said: "We're just waiting, I guess when everybody else starts (back up), when the mechanism starts to move again and everybody starts to get back to work, that's when we'll get back to work."

Dan admits that he enjoys having the opportunity to play Jacob once again as he is fascinated to see how his character will continue to develop through the franchise, which also stars Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law.

He said: "I love that character so much man. It's just great to be able to do franchises where you have sequels, or even the Walking Dead, where you get to keep coming back for different seasons and the character grows.

"I get to come back and I get to play Jacob as if he has grown and been affected by the last two movies. For an actor, that's just priceless."
