VIDEO. Johnny Depp will be paid for the role of Gellert Grindelwald

Johnny Depp Actor -

Johnny Depp managed to save the day after losing his libel suit against the

.

If the actor's reputation is tarnished and his future in Hollywood darkens, he will still be paid in full for the role he ultimately does not play in

.

The actor agreed to withdraw from the project following the verdict of Judge Nicol, who ruled that the British tabloid had not lied in calling him a violent man with Amber Heard.

While the judge also admitted violence by the

star

against her ex-husband, this did not affect Warner Studios' decision to part ways with the comedian.

As the Hollywood Reporter specifies, if Johnny Depp only shot one scene in this third installment, he benefits from a clause common to leading stars, nicknamed "pay-or-play".

Controversial personalities

Legally, Johnny Depp was not fired from the shoot.

He was asked to leave, which he accepted.

The actor logically intends to focus on his next lawsuit, this time in defamation against Amber Heard in the United States, in the hope of restoring his image.

Nevertheless, for the Warner, the personal scandals of the actor are a bit of the last straw.

The shooting of this film, which is aimed at a young audience, has already been marred by a controversy targeting the author of the Harry Potter universe herself.

JK Rowling has been accused of transphobia for several months for tweets.

Another actor in the franchise, Ezra Miller, is meanwhile at the heart of a scandalous video, in which he appears to strangle a woman in a bar in Iceland.

Johnny Depp's departure, willy-nilly, was therefore the minimum the studios could get.
