Actor, Mads Mikkelsen, has revealed he was given two days' notice to replace Johnny Depp in a leading role in the Fantastic Beasts film franchise - Now that's a quick turnaround time.
In a new interview, Mads admits the casting process was ‘chaotic’ and says he was given two days’ notice on whether to accept the role of Grindelwald.
The team behind Secrets chose not to address Grindelwald’s change in appearance in the new film, and made Mads’ villain a more toned-back version of the platinum-haired, white-eyed wizard played by Johnny. This was the right move for Mads, as he said he didn’t ‘want to copy anything’ Depp had done but aimed to ‘build some sort of bridge between what came before.’
