A new Harry Potter film may be in the pipeline as Warner Bros boss teased ‘there’s a lot of fun and potential there’.
The film franchise released eight widely popular movies between 2001 and 2011 and the CEO of WarnerMedia Jack Kilar hinted the magical world of Hogwarts could come to the fore once again.
Jack was at a Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecommunications conference when he spoke about the future of Harry Potter, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
He said: “There’s this little thing called Harry Potter, which is one of the most beloved franchises.
“We’re incredibly thankful to be able to partner with JK Rowling and so I would argue there’s a lot of fun and potential there as well.”
The franchise has already seen a spin-off in the form of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find them in 2016.
This was followed by Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald two years later and three more films in the franchise have been planned.
