Johnny Depp Will Not Be Returning As Grindelwald

After an ongoing legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, Johnny Depp was fired from Fantastic Beasts, leading Warner Bros. to immediately begin searching for his replacement. Though Depp has claimed that he was the victim of domestic abuse, Heard maintains that it was the other way around, leaving Depp to pay the ultimate price. Not only has the actor been universally canceled in the wake of his lost libel suit, but if Disney decides to follow Warner Bros.’ lead, he may have to say goodbye to the role of Captain Jack Sparrow too.

Although fans had mixed feelings about Depp’s Beasts casting in the first place, his firing makes things complicated for loyal viewers by ruining casting continuity across the films. Many fans now wish that Warner Bros. had a real-life Time-Turner it could use to turn back the clock and recast him with someone who better fit the role (and wasn’t in danger of being fired and ultimately replaced). We’ve already had to say goodbye to one Dumbledore and grow comfortable with another. Having to experience that again⏤not because of an actor’s untimely death, but rather the implications of his personal life⏤detracts from the viewing experience and threatens to quash enthusiasm from fans who still support Depp. One can only hope that this doesn’t become a trend in the Potterverse moving forward, especially if Warner Bros. is banking on the remaining films getting made.

Mads Mikkelsen Is Respectfully Stepping In

As unfortunate as losing Depp is to the franchise, it didn’t take long for Warner Bros. to find his replacement. Mads Mikkelsen, who Marvel fans will recognize as Kaecilius from Doctor Strange, will be stepping into the shoes of the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald. Mikkelsen was shocked and honored to even be considered for the role, telling Entertainment Weekly in December of 2020 that he had some big shoes to fill.

“There has to be a bridge between what Johnny did and what I’m going to do,” Mikkelsen said. “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.”
