Apparently, Amber Heard’s ex-husband will not leave Warner Bros studio empty-handed, since it was reported that Johnny Depp will receive his full salary for ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’, in which he only filmed one scene before said Hollywood studios, asked him to resign months ago.
It must be remembered that after losing the trial against The Sun newspaper for his alleged defamation of marital abuse, Depp had to leave his role as Gellert Grindelwald, the villain of the sequel to ‘Fantastic Beasts ‘ and although many said that he was left without recompense, he actually got a much higher payment than they were originally going to pay.
According to the information from The Hollywood Reporter, the actor signed a pay or play contract, which only applies to actors already known internationally, as it stipulates that the artist must receive his full pay, even if the movie has not been filmed, this with in order to ensure the income of the star, and it will not be 10 million dollars as previously believed, but 16 million dollars.
However, although Johnny Depp will receive his full salary for ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’, the figure does not compare to what he earned before, as he obtained 20 million dollars in advance and received 55 million dollars in ‘Alice in Wonderland’, which means that his career has been implicated, so he no longer earns the millionaire amount he used to.
On the other hand, the production of ‘Fantastic Beasts 3’ is still in development and finally found its new Grindelwald: the actor Mads Mikkelsen, but we will have to wait for the premiere to see him on the big screen, which will be released in July 2022.
