Mads Mikkelsen will replace Johnny Depp in the upcoming third part of the Fantastic Beasts franchise, Warner Bros. There's been a ton of buzz surrounding after losing his libel suit against a British publication, who called him a "wife beater" in regards to his troubled marriage with Amber Heard.
Warner Bros. asked Depp to resign from his role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts, which the 57-year-old agreed upon. According to IndieWire, in an official release by Warner Bros., it's been confirmed by the studio that Mikkelsen has been chosen to take over the role of Grindelwald from Johnny in Fantastic Beasts 3. Fantastic Beasts 3 is slated to release on July 15, 2022. Depp was forced to exit the role earlier this month. The three-week trial in July heard evidence from Depp and his former wife Amber Heard about a tempestuous marriage marked by violence on both sides and of heavy drinking by Depp.
In the meantime, announcing his departure on Instagram from Fantastic Beasts 3, Johnny penned down some words for his fans writing, "Finally, I wish to say this. The surreal judgment of the court in the W.K. will not change my fight, to tell the truth, and I confirm that I plan to appeal. My resolve remains strong and I intend to prove that the allegations against me are false. My life and career will not be defined by this moment in time. Thank you for reading."
