AceShowbiz - While Johnny Depp's short appearance in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" drummed up the excitement for the sequel, his casting as Gellert Grindelwald would later become a problem for the franchise. Leading to the filming of the second sequel, "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald", he had already been involved in legal issues with Amber Heard over abuse allegations.
Depp had already filmed one scene for the third movie when Warner Bros. asked him to resign in November 2020 following a court case finding against him regarding allegations he committed domestic violence. Though public's opinions were still divided at the time, with the actor also suing his ex-wife for defamation, he was eventually replaced by Mads Mikkelsen in the movie.
