Mads Mikkelsen is opening up about the 'shocker' moment he got the call to replace Johnny Depp in 'FantasticBeasts 3.'

"Well it's going to be me, so that's a difference," Mikkelsen quipped, then he got serious. "No, this is the tricky part. We're still working it out. There has to be a bridge between what Johnny did and what I'm going to do. And at the same time, I also have to make it my own. But also we have to find a few links [to the previous version of the character] and some bridges so it doesn't completely detach from what he's already masterfully achieved.

"Job wise, it's obviously super interesting and nice," Mikkelsen said. "It's also a shocker that it came after what happened, which is just super sad. I wish both of them the best. These are sad circumstances. I hope both of them will be back in the saddle again really soon."is currently in production and will be released July 14, 2022. But you don't have to wait years to see Mikkelsen in a new role.

Big mistake. Mads lied stating 'it was just rumours' Now, hes taken the part. Wishing THEM well? WTF he blindly took the role from an innocent man, a victim of DV, whos been punished unnecessarily for daring to come forward. You can guarantee we will boycott JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Depp was the only reason I watched it in the first place. I certainly won’t be paying to watch the guy who wishes Heard “back into the saddle” to hit people and throw things at them. Hard pass.

I understand that he is trying to show understanding. Expect him to show the same understanding of Weinstein as well. WB has not listened to the recordings and WB has not heard the violent story of the diagnosed (Yes, she is) sociopath Amber. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Either JD fans didn't listen to the UNEDITED audio file, or they listened and Denied the TRUTH. The second option is more likely. she told the court that the first time she hit JD was to defense her sister. But JD said he never mistreated women, which is false.

BoycottWarnerBrothers Mad Mikkelsen is a POS wishing serial abuser Amber Heard well! 🤮He probably sends get well greetings to Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Gishlaine, Ezra Miller, Kevin Spacey... JusticeForJohnnyDepp Abuse has no gender! JohnnyDepp is a survivor!

'I wish them both the best'? He is just plainly refusing to adress the injustice of a victim being fired so that he can take the role and pretend it is not morally questionable to do so. Disappointed but not surprised.

barbaracrtz He's lovely and i can't wait too see him as Grindelwald 💕

:/ this whole situation makes me rethink how much of a fan I am of Mads.What a shame...I get him accepting the part, but all this propaganda that seems to be a way of WB telling the public how replaceable Johnny is and how much they just want to stick with Amber is kinda gross

Never heard of him so there for screw him he obviously sucks😏as a DV Survivor he will be remembered to me as the dude that supports an abuser JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Mads won’t have any problem making anything his own! What a brilliant unique talent!

JusticeForJohnnyDepp NoJohnnyNoFantasticBeasts JohnnyDeppIsGrindelwald

Im so disappointed at leaat he could talk better he cant be more happy to play the great Grindelwald who Johnny created himself boycottfantasticbeasts3 BoycottWarnerBrothers

He was all set and ready with contact signed before JohnnyDepp was asked to resign, I bet! JohnnyDeppIsInnocent JusticeForJohnnyDepp AmberHeardIsALiar AmberHeardisanAbuser

The more he talks, the more of a hypocrite he sounds. He seems well matched with the studio, if not the project. Depp is irreplaceable & Warner Bros willingness to use him as politically motivated collateral damage will rightly backfire on them.

We aren’t stopping until justice is done. We are boycotting FantasticBeasts3 unless they reinstate Johnny Depp back in the franchise JohnnyDeppIsMyGrindelwald JusticeForJohnnyDepp BoycottFantasticBeasts jk_rowling WBHomeEnt wbpictures ATT FantasticBeasts

If u honestly wish 'well' to Johnny's abuser Mads, then I wish u to step on a lego, or dog shit, or both

This is actually going on i cant believe it this would have been the best thing u could have had to share with you

There will never be a 100% transition of the Grindelwald figure because the actual character cannot be imitated ... Everything that comes next is a cheap copy of the figure. And Warner Bros will notice.

Him wishing Amber all the best is honestly disgusting. She's literally on tape admitting to abuse and he completely ignores it. Comments like these are enabling abuse and 100% silence the victims. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Que no se esfuerze mucho, que de todas formas no la voy a ver.

JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Nope. Just nope. Till this announcement I had no idea who this actor is. Never heard of him. And he can never replace Johnny neither make Grindelwald 'his own'

No matter how much they try to push this movie down our throats it will not work because the way WB has treated Johnny is dangerous and shocking bullying him and humiliating him mocking abuse victims this is why I will be taking my coins over to Dior cuz they have common sense

He wishes BOTH well? Is he freaking serious? Since when do we wish abusers will be fine career-wise? He's just lost all the respect I had for him.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Word vomit FantasticBeasts JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Oh, and BTW, considering we have this PR from Warner Bros, here is another important PR as well. Worthy to sign and share. JusticeforJohnnyDepp

Yeah, great, we get it. WB doesn't seem to give zero shits about the franchise's fans. They rather cover this wound with salt. WE GET IT. MADS GOT THE ROLE. Stop bombarding us with millions of those articles if the movie will come out in TWO YEARS.😪😠

Some times you just don't talk about some topic, for real. The treatment that a man survivor receives is shameful. It's getting harder to believe in our society.

That’s great

If actors can only say diplomatic replies over business that have nothing to do with their jobs, they should keep quiet and focus on their work. Or even better, study all the court documents and testimonials like Kate James. JusticeforJohnnyDepp

Seriously, if theofficialmads has time to wish a husband-beater all the best, he should take time to see this video. It shows how cunning and slanderous Amber was toward Johnny Depp as she used that video to attack him. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

And how can you wish a husband-beater 'the best' when that witch cut Johnny Depp's finger? A moment where everyone clearly is afraid of Heard because of her psychotic and dangerous nature. theofficialmads JusticeForJohnnyDepp.

Furthermore, Amber admitted beating Johnny Depp who always fled her every time they argued? A woman who also laughs at Johnny that if he tells the world she assaults him, none would believe him because men are monsters and women victims. theofficialmads

I know theofficialmads was asked 2 replace Johnny Depp after the way wbpictures mistreated him. But could have Mads just kept to 'no comment' over this. Because if he hasn't done his research & seen the audios, he should keep quiet. JusticeforJohnnyDepp

Wishing them both the best? Has theofficialmads done his research on this topic? Because the only person who deserves any 'best' is Johnny Depp. Especially after the way his ex-wife beat him daily and laughed about it. JusticeforJohnnyDepp

JusticeForJohhnyDepp

As a DV abuse survivor myself, WTF?! He wished the abuser/AH well... who does that? Not people who know what the 🤬 they're talking about! I had nothing against Mads really only the WB but now this BS, put him on the side of the abuser that's unacceptable. JusticeForJohnnyDepp

Oh so now we'll have to deal with the ignorants who do not know how great Mads is.

Johnny is the only one who deserves well MAKE HIS ABUSER FUCKING ACCOUNTABLE

Maybe I'm too much of a conspiracy theorist but I didn't hear about anything that happened to her she couldn't have done to herself if she were crazy. That audio tape of hers made her sound pretty crazy.

He wishes BOTH the best?!
