Johnny Depp had a concise thought when Warner Bros asked him to leave his role as Grindelwald in the franchise “Fantastic Beasts”: “F – K You”.
In a conversation with the Telegraph published on Saturday, Depp explained how it was pushed out of the fall of the prequel to “Harry Potter” when he had lost his very public defamation trial against the sun in the United Kingdom after the newspaper described it as a “wife drummer”. He was asked to “retire” from the role of “secrets of dumbledore” – which he did but was not happy with it.
“Listen, they said all kinds of things in the world about me, and I don’t mind. I’m not in service,” said Depp. “It literally stopped in Milliseconde, as, while I was making the film. They said we would like you to resign. But what was really in my head was that they wanted me to retire.”
He finished: “” F – K you. There is far too much of me to kill. If you think you can hurt me more than I have already been injured, you are seriously mistaken.
Depp was replaced in “The Secrets of Dumbledore” of 2022 “by Mads Mikkelsen. The actor had shot only one scene for the third film in the series” Fantastic Beasts “before he was asked to leave.
The decision to dismiss Depp took place after losing his first defamation trial in the United Kingdom against Hearnack in November 2020. Depp then contradicted his ex and quoted the loss of the role of “Harry Potter” as part of the damages of the defamation trial.
Depp initially announced that Warner Bros. asked him to “withdraw” from the role of Gellert Grindelwald on Instagram in 2020.
“In the light of recent events, I would like to make the short declaration next,” wrote Depp. “First, I would like to thank everyone who offered me their support and their loyalty. I was humiliated and moved by your many messages of love and concern, especially in the past few days.”
He continued: “I want to let you know that I was asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald in” Fantastic Beasts “and I respected and accepted this request.”
