Warner asks Depp to give up on Fantastic Beasts 3

(ANSA) - ROME, NOVEMBER 06 - Johnny Depp has formalized the farewell to the role of Grindelwald that had been assigned to him in the third film episode of the saga 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find them', based on the work of JK Rowling, following the recent British justice in the case of domestic violence attributed to him by his ex-wife AmberHeard. This was announced by the American actor himself, explaining that it was the Warner production that asked him to give up his role, essentially firing him. The actor agreed, as he explains in an official note. Johnny Depp confirmed, as immediately announced by his lawyers, that he also wanted to appeal against what he called "the surreal green" with which the London High Court rejected his defamation suit against the tabloid Sun - who had abolished it in the same way of a marital "thug" - and has on the contrary authenticated as "substantially true" Heard's accusations against him. The Warner Bros, producer of the film, has for its part "thanked Johnny" and let the US know that the part of Depp will be reassigned through "a new casting". (HANDLE).
