Following the resignation of Johnny Depp in his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts film franchise, Warner Bros. has officially announced that "Casino Royale" and "Doctor Strange" actor Mads Mikkelsen has been cast as the new actor to play the role. Depp - who is currently in an ongoing legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard - had to step away from the series and the currently in production untitled Fantastic Beasts sequel. As a result, the movie - which was originally scheduled to premiere on November 2021, has been pushed back to July 2022 instead due to the delays caused by the pandemic and the recasting of Depp.
It's been a heavy San Diego Comic-Con filled with news, announcements, and the occasional trailers to hype up what's coming later this year and this coming 2019 - and Warner Bros. naturally delivered on all fronts things that fans of their various franchise offerings have waited for! During their WBSDCC panel, the film company presented plenty of trailers for their next Fantastic Beasts film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and two DC Films that made fans all the more excited for the new slate of movies the DC Extended Universe has to offer!
