against the High Court's ruling, which concluded that he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard.

The actor has also been ordered to make an initial payment to the publisher of the Sun, News Group Newspapers of almost £630,000 for its legal fees. Depp made a brief appearance as Grindelwald in 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and reprised his role in 2018's Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.

The films also star Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law and are prequels to the eight Harry Potter films, which were based on the novels by JK Rowling.

Time to boycott. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

ArfurGott Last week he was the Chesapeake reaper, now I’m seeing him everywhere!?!

Should have been him at the outset

and nothing in your article about AmberHeard with her PROVEN abuse? I am appalled at all British media for spitting in the face of every domestic abuse survivor!

Class actor and not heard of anyone that doesnt rate him, but folks will reject the film anyways after hanging Depp out to dry. Shame

Not a great movie

I heard he's also replacing Amber Heard as Mera in Aquaman 2. What a versatile actor... JohnnyDeppDeservesJustice

Good for Mads but warnerbros unfairly fired Johnny - the victim of Amber Heard's violent abuse yet they keep her employed. “I wasn't punching you Johnny, I was f**king hitting you' by Amber Heard - Husband beater FireAmberHeard AmberHeardIsAnAbuser JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Ew

Every actor should have refused this part. It belongs to Johnny Depp and it's appalling how he's been treated, by the UK Court, by Disney, by his vile ex. BoycottPiratesOfTheCaribbean BoycottDisney

sorry to hear that. johnny as lost out to a red top that has cheered on the abuse of the right-wing for years. the egregious sun ought to be banned by all! BOYCOTT THE SUN

Love him.

Shame about Depp. Mikkelson is a good actor though

Who is going to replace Amber Heard in Aquaman 2 then ?

Great news on UK fishing - Brexit is almost complete. If Brxiteers are happy - it's the real thing.

Hypocritical of HollowWood to replace Depp for his actions when so many 'stars' are drug abusers etc. That said, Mikkelson is a great choice.

I'm still pissed off. But mads is ridiculously good at least

Johnny depp did nothing wrong yall are just haters

Brilliant choice, great actor, can’t wait for the next instalment.

So who has Warner Bros got in line to replace Amber Heard in Aquaman and Justice League?

I think Mads is a far better actor than Depp! Great choice!

Damn.. makes it harder not to watch it now, love Mads 👍

He is pretty cool n a gd actor but hey JD cannot act on this film cos he got fired due to his X false statement(not fare) so I guess Mikkelson isn't 2 bad 😊😉

Won’t be watching. Not because of Milkelson, but because the company clearly supports abusers if they’re pretty women.

Nice.

Hard to replace someone who’s established in a role but I think this is perfect casting. 👌

Good choice!

So is it Carlsbergs all round then to toast

Due to be released summer 2020 😎 I think you meant 2021

So Johnny, who is the victim and suffered domestic abuse, is hounded out of the role on false allegations made by his abuser who hasn't been sacked from her job. Don't you love equality! Mads is a great actor, but I'll be showing solidarity with Johnny and boycotting the movie.

If he had any integrity has a human he would’ve turned it down for Johnny Depp and demanded that Amber heard be fired

Excellent news. It’s should have been Mads from the start.

I hope it flops big time.

This is male privilege. The male privilege of being the abuse victim but being fired anyways. Needs to be a huge boycott for this movie. Can't let them get away with this.

Hey, loves me some theofficialmads Mads Mikkelsen ❤

He is an amazing actor and would be perfect for the role but I just don't think the public...or the majority will accept him over Depp

Depp is a hard act to follow. Depp light maybe.

Wrong-nobody REPLACES Johnny Depp ever. He's taking over from Johnny Depp. And, unfortunately, this film will be a bigger flop than Cats because of it.

wbpictures so unfortunate. WarnerBros apparently supports DomesticViolence against men. Tsk. Tsk.

He is going to have more enemies than fans and he should've rejected the role tho

BBC, please, watch your spelling: MikkelsEn!!

Fedt, man! 😄

Who cares?

Disappointed he’s going to be in that transphobe’s movie.

Mads Mikkelson will be perfect in the role. Great casting!
