Eddie Redmayne is an Oscar winner with several critically acclaimed performances under his belt. However, one of Redmayne's more popular roles came in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, which served as a spin-off to the Harry Potter films. In the films, Redmayne plays the role of Newt Scamander, a British magizoologist caught up in political chaos.
The third installment in the franchise, titled Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, was released in 2022. While promoting the film, Redmayne compared it to the classic heist film Ocean's Eleven, going so far as to liken his character to Brad Pitt's role in the film. Here's what Redmayne had to say about the similarities between the two films, despite being different on paper.
Eddie Redmayne debuted in the role of Newt Scamander in 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. He reprized the role in two more installments, including 2022's The Secrets of Dumbledore, starring Jude Law. To promote the film, Redmayne appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
