We were pretty excited when we found out Eddie Redmayne would be starring as Newt Scamander in J.K. Rowling’s upcoming Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but now the parts of two female leads need to be filled. And there are a whole lot of crazy-good options.
According to The Wrap, Warner Bros. and the director of the film have narrowed down the actresses to seven: four are up for the role of Tina, and the other three are being looked at for the role of Queenie. After seeing the list of big names and familiar faces, we don’t envy whoever has to make the final pick.
So who could you see starring alongside Eddie? Here’s where we’re at so far.
Tina:
Saoirse Ronan, Stockholm, Pennsylvania
Dakota Fanning, Very Good Girls
Lili Simmons, Banshee
Alison Sudol, Guapas
Queenie:
Kate Upton, The Other Woman
Katherine Waterston, Inherent Vice
Elizabeth Debicki, The Great Gatsby
Told you this was tough. The first of three films already comes out November 2016, so we’ll definitely find out who the new stars will be soon.
