Johnny Depp said that he was fired from filming Fantastic Beasts after losing a lawsuit against The Sun and his ex-wife Amber Heard. Recall that Depp was suing a British tabloid for libel. The Sun released material in which the actor was called "the man who beats his wife." In a recent trial, the court ruled in favor of the newspaper - according to the judge, its representatives were able to prove the veracity of the data they published. Amber Heard herself was a witness in the case. Now the actor not only suffered reputation losses, but also lost his job. His services have already been turned down by Warner Bros. He himself announced this in a short statement, where he also thanked his fans for their support. The studio confirmed this information and announced that another actor would be chosen for the role of Grindelwald.

Johnny Depp will be leaving the Fantastic Beasts franchise. We thank him for his work on the films of the series. Fantastic Beasts 3 is currently in production and the role of Grindelwald will be transferred to another actor. The film will be released in theaters around the world in the summer of 2022,”Warner Bros. said in a statement. However, Depp himself is determined to prove to the world that all the accusations against him are false. Recall that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard divorced in 2016. After the divorce, Hurd repeatedly accused her ex-husband of domestic violence. She was interviewed by The Washington Post, where she stated that she is a victim of domestic violence. Then Depp filed a lawsuit against her and demanded $ 50 million in compensation. In February of this year, a recording of a telephone conversation between former spouses was leaked to the network, where the actress herself confesses to beating her ex-husband.
