Actor Mads Mikkelsen -

Kika Press

In early November, the studios Warner invited Depp to abandon the role of Grindelwald, the villain of

Fantastic Animals

in the wake of its defeat in court against the

Sun

.

The actor had not flinched - pocketing all the same his full stamp in passing - leaving room for Mads Mikkelsen who, to hear him, had no contact with his predecessor.

" No I do not know him.

I met him once.

I wish I had had his phone, but I don't.

To be honest, there is nothing else I can do.

The only approach I can have is to bridge the gap between what he's done and what I'm going to do and we'll see what happens, ”the Danish actor assured AP Entertainment.

The third installment in the franchise from the

Harry Potter

universe

is slated for release in July 2022.

Until the last resort

While there will be no turnaround regarding the departure of Johnny Depp from

Fantastic Beasts

, the actor is still trying to win the lawsuit between him and the British tabloid for libel.

After seeing a first appeal denied, the actor filed an appeal with the British Court of Appeal in early December and is now awaiting the verdict.

In parallel, the actor is preparing to start another trial, which will oppose him to his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in May 2021 in the United States.
