However, with two more films in the series set to release over the coming years, there’s always a chance that Ron Perlman’s Fantastic Beasts character could make a comeback.A scene takes place in a speakeasy characters order drinks at the bar - specifically, a magical drink implied to contain alcohol that's called 'giggle water' (it literally makes characters giggle). Unfortunately, Perlman didn’t reprise his role in Fantastic Beasts 2 and it doesn’t look like he’ll be appearing in Fantastic Beasts 3 either. Ron Perlman's character was only in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them for a few minutes and while his appearance amounted to a cameo, his gruff portrayal of gangster goblin Gnarlak certainly made an impression on Harry Potter fans. Luckily, the trio is able to make their escape in the ensuing chaos but not before Jacob punches Gnarlak in the face and Newt retrieves Pickett from the duplicitous goblin. Like Warwick Davis’ Harry Potter character Griphook, Gnarlak is a goblin and just as Griphook betrayed the boy wizard, Gnarlak soon double-crossed Newt and his friends.Īfter Ron Perlman's Garlak persuades Newt to give him one of his magical creatures (a cute bowtruckle named Pickett) in exchange for intel on the whereabouts of the demiguise, the goblin reveals he’s sold the trio out to MACUSA, whose agents storm the speakeasy and start arresting patrons.

With the help of his newfound friends – No-Maj baker Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler) and Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), a former Auror – Newt manages to wrangle up most of his fantastic beasts, including a niffler trying to rob a jewelry store and a giant erumpent wreaking havoc in Central Park Zoo.
