Mads Mikkelsen: from Bond villain to the new Grindelwald
The Danish actor tells Kevin Maher about replacing Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beasts, being cast in the new Indiana Jones and the ‘boozing boot camp’ he attended for his latest role
by Kevin Maher
Replacing Depp was slightly more complicated. “I mean, obviously, they were going to do the film, and obviously he was not involved any more,” Mikkelsen says. “But I didn’t have a dog in that fight. And I don’t know what happened [in his private life], and I don’t know if it was fair, him losing the job, but I just knew that the show was going on, and I would’ve loved to have talked to him about it if I had the chance, but I just don’t know him in that sense. But they called me and they were obviously in a hurry, and I loved the script and so said yes. And I know it was controversial for many people, but that’s just the way it plays out once in a while.”
On playing Grindelwald he says: “I didn’t want to copy what Johnny had done. I think he’s a masterful actor, so copying him would’ve been creative suicide. I had to figure out something that was definitely my own, and yet also act as a bridge to what he had done. My take is different, and the look is a little different, but we’ll have to wait for the film’s release [next year] to find out.”
