It turns out that Dep concluded a contract with Warner Bros. On the shooting in "fantastic creatures" at the end of 2015 - before the actor was in the center of the scandal with its own bracketing process. According to Yates, from the very beginning, only the famous, long-established Actors who have proven themselves in Hollywood have been treated - because this character is "very important to history and takes an honorable place in it. It is very important for us to make people go for themselves, follow their abilities and ideas, "says Yeats.
"We were looking for someone who would be charming, original and legendary - this is all Johnny Depp. It may be strong, powerful. The roles of very powerful characters were already on his list, and he coped with them well. The unpredictability of his choice makes it extraordinary, and this is very important for us. "
"Charming, original and legendary" Johnny Depp will return to the role of Grindevald in the second part of the "fantastic creatures and where they live", whose premiere is scheduled for November 2018. It is expected that in the sequel there will be much more attention to the relationship between Grindevald and the young Dumbledore, for whom Disney is now looking for an actor.
