Wonder and Wonder:
Although fired from his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the "Wonder Animals" film series, actor Johnny Depp is expected to rake in $ 10 million.
Last week, Depp (57) suffered a painful defeat in the defamation trial he conducted against the British "Sun" tabloid, for an article published in 2018 in which he was called "beating women" (referring, of course, to the tumultuous relationship between him and his actress ex-wife Amber Heard who accused him of violence) .
The court ruled that there was strong evidence against Depp, indicating that he had indeed used violence against Herd and made her fear for her life in reality.
This past weekend, Depp updated his followers on Instagram that he had been asked by Warner Studios to leave his role as Gellert Grindelwald in the "Wonder Beasts" film series and complied with their request.
Despite the layoffs, Depp is expected to earn $ 10 million for one filming day in which he managed to take part, thanks to a clause in his contract that stipulated he would be entitled to full pay for his work, whether the film was canceled or another actor was fired and replaced.
Filming for the third film in the series, which was scheduled to be released on November 12, 2021, began in London last September, but like most productions during the Corona period has experienced delays and schedule changes, and is expected to be released only on July 15, 2022.
