We recently learned that Johnny Depp will no longer play Grindelwald in the movie Fantastic Beasts 3 and fans have reacted by looking for a replacement.
The movie Fantastic Beasts 3 has had a lot of dilemas, from delays to the possible firing of Ezra Miller for his strange behavior. Not forgetting that JK Rowling who is still heavily involved in the production of the film has provoked the ire of the internet on several occasions this year. But also, now Warner Bros has dispensed with Johnny Depp to play the villain Grindelwald. Because of this, fans have been divided between those who want him to return and others who are already looking for a replacement.
Johnny Depp is not in his best moment, considering that, recently, it was reported that Disney will definitely no longer have him for Pirates of the Caribbean, he also has issues due to the trials against his ex-wife Amber Heard. This has led to his expulsion from Fantastic Beasts 3 and many fear is a blow that may bring about the end of his film career.
Petitions have now been launched in an effort to get Johnny Depp to return as Grindelwald, although this probably won’t work. There’s also a groundswell of support building behind Colin Farrell returning to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter franchise and replacing him. Since he played Percival Graves in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) and his character already has a place in mythology that could easily be reconfigured.
Percival Graves is the director of Magical Security, who at the end of the film is discovered to be Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), therefore, they could furnish a reversal twist to the character and thus Colin Farrell would play the powerful villain.
This solution provided by fans on social networks could undo the problem of having to put another actor to play Grindelwald now that Johnny Depp will no longer be in the film.
