Meanwhile, the movie lived in limbo as other movies of Depp’s, including Fantastic Beasts 2, came and went, though there has been a downtick in Depp projects recently. Since the Amber Heard-related lawsuits went super public, Johnny Depp has also been asked to step down from his role as Grindelwald in Warner Bros.’ popular magical world, which is currently filming the third installation. His last movie Waiting for the Barbarians came out in August.
