Hannibal Star Will Replace Johnny Depp
Mikkelsen’s name has been a big part of the speculations in the fans fraternity ever since the news pertaining to Johnny Depp’s departure have surfaced. Now, on November the 25th, Warner Bros. confirmed that Mads Mikkelsen would be the one to step into Johnny Depp’s shoes.
In pop culture, Mads Mikkelsen is renowned for the role of Hannibal Lecter from the hit crime show “Hannibal.”
The 54-year-old actor will be a part of the third cinematic venture in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, and he will mark his debut in the coveted role of Gellert Grindelwald in that film. The third film is being developed by Warner Bros. and company, and for now, its release date has not been moved. The movie is still expected to be released on July the 15th, 2022.
It was only last week that the actor has said that though he will take the call from Warner Bros., the news regarding his appointment as the antagonist Gellert Grindelwald was nothing more than blown humor.
He had insisted that since the news is in the rumor domain, he has as much of an idea as a young fan girl of JK Rowling does.
Mads Mikkelsen will take on the role which was played by Johnny Depp in the first two movies. Depp lost out on the role after he couldn’t win the UK court trial against the media house “The Sun.”....Read more.
