10 h 5 m, 19 nov 2020 año - FANTASTIC BEASTS Mads Mikkelsen addresses rumours he’s replacing Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beasts

Descripción:

IGN spoke to actor Mads Mikkelsen on Monday to promote our exclusive Chaos Walking trailer debut -- which you can see on Thursday, November 19 -- during which time we asked the Rogue One and Hannibal star about the news that he's poised to replace Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

Depp resigned from the role earlier this month (see the original report below), with the trades pegging Mikkelsen as director David Yates' top choice to replace him in the role of the sinister wizard. Except Mikkelsen says it's all just a "rumor" ... for now.
"Oh, that is on the rumor basis as we speak," Mikkelsen told IGN over the phone. "So I know as much as you do from the newspapers. So I'm waiting for that phone call."

Maybe Mikkelsen is simply playing coy until the deal is sealed or perhaps word of the studio's desire to cast him leaked before they were ready to make him an offer. In any event, as soon as Depp's replacement is official then we'll let you know!
