FROM POP CULTURE:Johnny Depp Fans Upset Over ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Trailer With New Grindelwald After His Firing
By Michael Hein
The trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore premiered on Monday, giving us our first look at Mads Mikkelsen as Gellert Grindelwald. Mikkelsen took over the role after Depp was fired in November of 2020 when he lost a defamation lawsuit related to his alleged physical abuse of his ex-wife. Depp’s fans were upset by the new trailer, and many vowed to boycott this movie.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is facing an uphill battle between the recasting of Grindelwald, the outcry against author J.K. Rowling’s transphobic comments, and the lukewarm critical response to the first two movies. Since the last installment of this Harry Potter spinoff franchise came out, Rowling has become fiercely outspoken against transgender rights. By contrast, she wrote a blog post defending Depp as recently as 2017 despite allegations that he has physically abused his ex-wives and neglected his daughter.
Still, the promise of a boycott could not keep the new trailer out of the trending topics. Fans compared what little they could see of Mikkelsen’s performance to that of Depp, debating which of them brought more to the franchise.
