Played by Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the role of Grindelwald is being recast for the upcoming Fantastic Beasts 3, with Mads Mikkelsen now in talks.
Deadline reports that the “Hannibal” star is “atop the list” of actors being considered to replace the freshly departed Depp in the Harry Potter spinoff franchise’s third installment.
David Yates is directing Fantastic Beasts 3, set for release in 2022.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting on someone to revive Bryan Fuller’s “Hannibal” and we’re primarily writing this article about a non-horror movie to once again lobby for that.
So let’s make it happen, universe. We’re hungry.
