This resulted in every promotional content of the upcoming DC film trending alongside '#FireAmberHeard.'What did Mads Mikkelsen say about replacing Johnny Depp as Grindelwald?WB reportedly approached Mikkelsen a week after they had asked Depp to resign from the film. Mad Mikkelsen (56) told The Times:"...he was not involved any more. But I didn't have a dog in that fight. And I don't know what happened (between Depp and Heard, and with WB), and I don't know if it was fair, him losing the job...and I would've loved to have talked to him about it if I had the chance, but I just don't know him in that sense."The Another Round star, during his promotion for his previous film, also added:"I didn't want to copy what Johnny had done. I think he's a masterful actor, so copying him would've been creative suicide. My take is different, and the look is a little different, but we'll have to wait for the film's release (next year) to find out."While Johnny Depp's supporters are upset with Warner Media about his firing and lack thereof for Amber Heard, most do not have any grievances with Mikkelsen taking up the role.
