Mads Mikkelsen has been confirmed to replace Johnny Depp in the third installment of 'Fantastic Beasts.'
Warner Bros. reportedly confirmed on Wednesday (Nov.25) that the Danish actor has been cast as the evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the upcoming sequel.
Mikkelsen, who currently stars in the Danish film 'Another Round' stepped in to fill the role after Johnny Depp left the franchise earlier this month following his unsuccessful libel trial against The Sun.
The announcement comes after the studio reportedly asked the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star to stand down after losing his libel trial, which reportedly concluded that he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard.
The court has also ordered Johnny Depp to make an initial payment of almost £630,000 for its legal fees to the publisher of the Sun, reports BBC.
