Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is set to delve deeper into the character of Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz) and her rumoured close history with Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne)
While whispers have been going around that the pair were once romantically linked when they attended Hogwarts together, the two stars have now set the record straight.
“It’s one of those relationships where there was definitely great love there, there was also romance, but was it ever a full blown relationship? I don’t know,” Redmayne told Entertainment Weekly.
“But certainly she’s somebody who has touched [Newt] hugely and at the beginning of this film you realize she’s in a relationship with his brother so, of course, that comes with great complications.”
“We’ve only seen her previously in a photograph from Newt’s office,” Zoe elaborated. “They’re friends from childhood when they went to Hogwarts.
They have quite a special bond and she was always looked at as an outcast, just as Newt was.
“Now he’s come back into town and learns she’s become engaged to his brother Theseus, so that’s an awkward situation.
“I don’t think it ever went to that place, but Newt has so few friends and connections in his childhood, maybe in his mind it might have gone there? I don’t think it was ever acted upon. But it still feels like a betrayal when she ends up with Theseus.”
The new Fantastic Beasts movie is set to move things from New York to Paris, and some new details recently emerged giving us more details as to why the characters find themselves in the French capital.
