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.
