Overview

• Cera revealed on The Louis Theroux Podcast that he declined a part in the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ franchise because he feared becoming too famous and committing for six years.
• He said the potential six-year commitment and his desire to maintain control over his exposure influenced his decision.
• After starring in Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme, Cera said he has outgrown his franchise aversion and would consider long-running series that interest him.
• The ‘Fantastic Beasts’ series was originally slated for five films but was paused after its third installment in 2022 as Warner Bros. shifted resources to a Harry Potter television adaptation.
• Cera humorously suggested he might join the Marvel or DC universes if offered a quirky role, joking he could play ‘a superhero who is a big fan of dairy.’
