Why Did Johnny Depp Not Play Grindelwald in 'Fantastic Beasts 3'? (Distractify)

Rowling has become a much more controversial figure since her original Harry Potter novels were published. Now that Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore ...

Regardless of the outcome, though, it seems clear that Depp's trial has swayed public opinion in his favor, and he might find himself popping in big movies again in no time. Even aside from the question of whether Depp is guilty of domestic abuse, you could argue he was always pretty odd casting as Grindelwald, a man who has a very European name. Depp was reportedly still paid for the project, even though he only shot a single scene of his role.

Will There Be Another Fantastic Beasts Movie (Screen Rant)

Fantastic Beasts has seen three movies so far in the Harry Potter spin-off. So will there be another, or is the future of the franchise in doubt?

However, it is safe to assume given the response to the film and lack of response from Warner Bros. that Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore may very well be the last film in the Wizarding World franchise. With Warner Bros. greenlighting both the second and third installment back in 2016, even before the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the fact that the final two films haven't yet started production is a worry. It is likely Warner Bros. saw the middling response to the film in both the critical and commercial worlds and put the franchise on hold. However, there are several reasons why Fantastic Beasts 3 will end the series and will likely be the last adventure in the wizarding world for a while. Initially, Fantastic Beasts was conceived of as a trilogy. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is the third Fantastic Beasts movie, but it's not clear whether there will be another.
