Mads Mikkelsen wishes he could have spoken Johnny Depp about replacing him in Fantastic Beasts 3, the Hannibal actor revealed in a new interview.
And I don’t know what happened , and I don’t know if it was fair, him losing the job, but I just knew that the show was going on, and I would’ve loved to have talked to him about it if I had the chance, but I just don’t know him in that sense.
Mikkelsen is set to bring to life the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the as-yet-unnamed third installment of the Harry Potter spin-off franchise.
“I had to figure out something that was definitely my own, and yet also act as a bridge to what he had done.
“It’s also a shocker that it came after what happened, which is just super sad.
“The more you’ve been in the movie business the less you find yourself wearing your ‘fan hat’, and yet in this case it was there for a little while longer than most.
