Johnny Depp Returning For "Fantastic Beasts 3".


Actor Johnny Depp has confirmed he will be reprising his role of the evil wizard Grindelwald in the upcoming third "Fantastic Beasts" film.

Depp first played the role in 2016's "Harry Potter" spin-off film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and has much more substantial screen time in next month's follow-up Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018).

With author J.K. Rowling having planned five 'Beasts' films, it has been expected those involved will be in each one, but Depp's involvement has been doubted due to various media reports.

"I loved it because that's really an arena where you can fly around and try different things and approach a character with a lot more…um…to take someone who is teetering on being a fascist, yeah he’s a fascist, he's one of those, but to play him as a sensitive, concerned yet manipulative and powerful wizard. The possibilities in that world are wide open, so you can really try anything. So it was a gas and I look forward to the next installment, which I think we start the middle of next year." says Depp.
