Part 5/8:
Warner Brothers stated:
"Johnny Depp will depart the Fantastic Beasts franchise. We thank Johnny for his work and will recast the role of Grindelwald."
Depp, meanwhile, responded with dignity and resolve, asserting that he would continue to fight to clear his name:
"The judgment in the UK will not change my fight to tell the truth. I plan to appeal and will prove that the allegations are false. My life and career will not be defined by this moment."
This response underscores Depp's belief in his innocence and his commitment to restoring his reputation.
