Actor Johnny Depp has been asked to resign from the Fantastic Beasts movie franchise by Warner Bros<\/a> after he lost his libel case with the British tabloid paper The Sun. The claim was brought after the paper had published a story labelling Depp a wife beater.<\/p>\n

Depp announced his departure from the franchise in a post on Instagram<\/a> thanking fans for their support and vowing to appeal the decision writing, “The surreal judgement in the U.K. will not change my fight to tell the truth.”<\/p>\n

Originally Depp brought the suit against The Sun and its executive editor Dan Wooton over a report that alleged 16 counts of violence against his then-wife Amber Heard. The libel dispute centered on two issues: the meaning of the original story and whether it was true. The judge recognized that there had been serious harm done to Depp’s reputation by the story but the majority of allegations of assault against Amber Heard were substantially true and the judge dismissed Depp’s claim.<\/p>\n

Confirming the news,\u00a0Warner Bros. put out a statement reading, \u201cJohnny Depp will depart the Fantastic Beasts<\/em> franchise. We thank Johnny for his work on the films to date. Fantastic Beasts 3<\/em> is currently in production, and the role of Gellert Grindelwald will be recast. The film will debut in theaters worldwide in the summer of 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n

Depp had played the part of Grindelwald in the Harry Potter<\/em><\/a> prequel spin off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them<\/em> released in 2016, reprising the role in the 2018 sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0 The third film in the series originally was expected in 2021 has had its release pushed back to summer 2022 with two further sequels expected to follow.\u00a0But there’s no word yet on who will be taking over the role from Depp.<\/p>\n
