It's official: Mads Mikkelsen replacing Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beasts 3

It's official: Mads Mikkelsen is the new Gellert Grindelwald.

The Hannibal and Rogue One star is confirmed to replace Johnny Depp as the notorious dark wizard in the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
The news after Depp was forced out of the Harry Potter prequel franchise (and after EW suggested Mikkelsen — among a few others — as a replacement for Depp).

Warner Bros. had to move quickly given that the third film in the series is already in production in the U.K.

Some fans pushed for the studio to hire Colin Farrell, who already played Grindelwald — albeit in disguise — in the franchise's first film, 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. But Farrell is currently filming another Warner Bros. title, playing The Penguin in Matt Reeve's The Batman, and is unavailable even if the studio would have wanted to go that route.

The studio asked Depp to resign from the film after the actor lost his libel lawsuit against a U.K. publication that alleged he was abusive towards his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp reportedly only shot a single scene for the film so far, yet the studio still had to pay his eight-figure salary as part of their "pay or play" deal with the actor.

Depp's own suggestions helped physically design his version of Grindelwald: a deathly pale specter with spiky, platinum blond hair, a modest mustache, and one odd "scary eye." It's unclear how much of that, if any, will carry over to the new iteration of the character.
The film's release date was previously set for next year, but with the recent recasting news, the film has been pushed back to July 15, 2022.

The third film is once again directed by longtime Harry Potter franchise veteran David Yates and is based on a screenplay by author J.K. Rowling along with Steve Kloves. Stars Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, and others are set to return. Filming was supposed to begin in March, then was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and production recently commenced.
Story details about the third film are scarce, but we know that it takes place largely in Rio de Janeiro and leads up to the Wizarding World's involvement with World War II.

Mads Mikkelsen is opening up about the "shocker" moment he got the call to replace Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beasts 3.
The Danish actor was cast last month as the dark wizard Gellert Grindlewald after Warner Bros. asked Depp to resign from the Harry Potter prequel franchise. The shakeup came after Depp lost his libel lawsuit against a U.K. publication that alleged he was abusive towards his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.
During a discussion about Mikkelsen's new film, Another Round, EW asked the Rogue One and Hannibal actor how his take on the villainous character will differ from Depp's.

"Well it's going to be me, so that's a difference," Mikkelsen quipped, then he got serious. "No, this is the tricky part. We're still working it out. There has to be a bridge between what Johnny did and what I'm going to do. And at the same time, I also have to make it my own. But also we have to find a few links [to the previous version of the character] and some bridges so it doesn't completely detach from what he's already masterfully achieved."

We also asked Mikkelsen about his reaction to landing the role, which came about under such dramatic circumstances.

"Job wise, it's obviously super interesting and nice," Mikkelsen said. "It's also a shocker that it came after what happened, which is just super sad. I wish both of them the best. These are sad circumstances. I hope both of them will be back in the saddle again really soon."
Fantastic Beasts 3 is currently in production and will be released July 14, 2022. But you don't have to wait years to see Mikkelsen in a new role. Another Round has the actor playing a despondent Danish schoolteacher who makes a pact with his colleagues to test a theory that life is better if you spend your whole day just slightly drunk (in other words, like half the world during the pandemic). Read Leah Greenblatt's review for more details. Another Round opens in limited theaters Friday and is available on demand Dec. 18.

Johnny Depp Denied Appeal in ‘Wife Beater’ Libel Case

Johnny Depp can’t handle the truth. The actor was denied an appeal in his U.K. libel case against The Sun publisher, News Group Newspapers, according to Deadline. Depp sought to overturn the 2020 ruling that the tabloid was accurate in calling him a “wife beater.” After a highly publicized three-week trial, the verdict asserted that the label was “substantially true” regarding his relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard. The ruling has now been upheld by the U.K. Court of Appeal, which said, “the appeal has no real prospect of success” and that “there is no other compelling reason for it to be heard.” Appeals Judges Lord Justice James Dingemans and Lord Justice Nicholas Underhill explained their decision in a 14-page document addressing Depp’s representation’s defense, including claims that Heard misled the original judge by saying she donated the $7 million divorce payout. Earlier this year, her lawyers told Deadline the donations had been “delayed” due to legal fees. During the appeal, they countered by saying the information had been available to Depp’s team before the original trial.


Following the outcome of the trial, the 57-year-old actor was dropped from Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts franchise and replaced with Mads Mikkelsen. A spokesperson for Heard told Deadline that she was “pleased but by no means surprised” by the outcome of the appeal. “The evidence presented in the UK case was overwhelming and undeniable,” her representation added. “To reiterate, the original verdict was that Mr. Depp committed domestic violence against Amber on no fewer than 12 occasions and she was left in fear of her life.” The U.K. results come ahead of his $50 million defamation suit against Heard in the United States, set to begin on April 11, 2022. The actress herself is pursuing a $100 million countersuit.

Johnny Depp Says Feces in Bed Was Last Straw in Marriage to Amber Heard

He also said the couple’s tempestuous marriage broke down for good after an incident in which he accused Heard or one of her friends of defecating in the couple’s bed.



“I thought that was an oddly fitting end to the relationship,” he said.

I keep saying there is no mechanism anywhere to protect a man's name once an accusation made. "Believe all women" is now a hammer to just nail men whether guilty or not
