The famous Danish actor Max Mickelsen, from 1905, had already succeeded Depp at the end of last year as Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3. At present, the beloved actor has opened his mouth to talk about his performance in the film. He said he would not replicate Depp's performance.
Max Mickelson said: "Nobody is going to think about copying anything. If that's the case, it's a creative suicide, especially since previous versions were perfect. Everyone wants to find a different path. In order to do that, I needed to find a way between my previous performance and my performance. It takes a strong will and a mindset, and you need to create content that belongs to you. Other than that, everything is unwise. Judging by Max Mikkelson's words, the actor will create his own Grindelwald in the film. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3 had been postponed several times before, and a year ago, the entire series' producer, Steve Crowf, joined the screenplay team to write the screenplay with the original author J. K. Rowling. Fantastic Beasts has actually been made into a fan-oriented film, and for non-Harry Potter fans, the series lacks freshness. And this time Depp's withdrawal from the crew may allow the film to add fresh blood. In terms of other actors, Eddie Redmayne, Catherine Watson, Ezra Miller, Jude Lowe, Alison Sudore, Dan Fogler, Xiuxian and other previous starring films will return.
It is understood that Max Mikkelson is the preferred actor for director David Yates. Therefore, Mickelson's joining "Animal 3" is also a good news for the crew. Currently, "Animal 3" is being filmed in the UK, and the release date is set for July 14, 2022.
