The festival also talked about Mads Mikkelsen’s work ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’, in which he replaced Johnny Depp as Grindelwald.
Mads Mikkelsen said outright that he had been very apprehensive about this, as well as Depp’s case with his ex-wife. He also hinted that Depp might return.
Mads Mikkelsen said, “Obviously things have changed now that Depp has won his lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber and he may return, and I’m a fan of his myself, and I think he’s an amazing actor and does a great job. His version is unique because of him and I can’t exactly replicate it, so in my version I had to build something that was mine and build a bridge between him and me. Of course, Depp’s fans are lovely and a bit ‘scary’ and I get a lot of criticism for that, and I don’t have much interaction with them, but I understand why they’re heartbroken.”
