Warner Bros. made the announcement at the same time as Johnny Depp announced he was departing from the series amid allegations and a recent legal battle loss.

“I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and I have respected and agreed to that request,” he confirmed.

The role will be recast, and the film will debut worldwide in summer of 2022, a spokesperson for the studio said.
