He's busy on the promotional tour for his highly-anticipated new film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

And while excited for the release to hit theatres later this month, Eddie Redmayne, 34, has admitted that the announcement there will be five more films in the series came as 'news' to the cast.

The cinematic bombshell comes as the Oscar wining actor jetted into JFK airport in New York on Wednesday after a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles.

Jetting in: Eddie Redmayne, 34, has admitted that the announcement the planned trilogy is being extended by an additional two films came as a 'complete shock' to the cast

Casually clad, Eddie donned a pair of bootcut dark denims which he teamed with a blue tee and cosy looking navy knit cardigan that he opted to close.

The British star paired his laid back look with a statement herringbone coat that fell to his knees as he carried his eye-catching distressed suitcase in his hand.

Going clean shaven for his journey, he strutted his stuff in a pair of navy trainers as his sandy blond locks tousled in the terminal wind.

Eddie's relaxed appearance comes after he admitted he didn't know there would be five instalments of his latest flick Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

The Hollywood star - who plays magizoologist Newt Scamander in the upcoming J.K. Rowling's series - explained the news that the planned trilogy is being extended by an additional two films came as a shock to the cast.

Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres show, he said: 'It was news to us.'

'We were at a fan event for Fantastic Beasts [And Where To Find Them] and then at the end J.K. Rowling arrived, which was a shock for us and whenever she comes we turn into excitable children.

'She always had a specific story she wanted to tell, which goes much further beyond just Newt and his case.

He added: 'But we didn't realise it was going to be five films.

'So there was a very shocked moment when all of the cast, the four of us, gasped but are so excited.'

Eddie also admitted he can't wait for the movie's release in a few weeks as he explained he found keeping the film's plot under wraps 'really stressful'.

He told talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: 'I'm useless at keeping secrets, so it's been a really stressful few months.

'But there are some great surprises--wonderful surprises that I'm very excited about.'

Although he can't talk about the specifics of the movie, the star - who welcomed his first child baby Iris in June with wife Hannah Bagshawe - was able to give a vague outline.

He said: 'It's set in J.K. Rowling's wizarding world.

'It's set 70 years before Harry Potter, and it's about this English magizooligist who arrives in New York with a case full of these extraordinary magical creatures, and a couple get out.

He concluded: 'That kind of sets in motion a whole chain of events. When I read the script, I didn't know what to expect, it blew my mind.'

Eddie will star alongside Colin Farrell, Ezra Miller, Jon Voight and Samantha Morton in the flick set for release on November 18.
