#490: Why Johnny Depp Left Fantastic Beasts, and Who Should Play Grindelwald Now

Thanksgiving is all about family; join us for a Weasley Family-themed Quizzitch Live on Sunday, November 22nd! Breaking News: Johnny Depp is OUT as Grindelwald! Warner Bros reportedly asked Johnny to leave the role. Andrew breaks down what happened and details a chain of events. Why is this happening now, and why didn't it happen sooner? WB gave him the professional courtesy of stepping down with dignity, but was Johnny Depp actually fired? Is Fantastic Beasts a doomed series? Is it a sinking ship of controversy? Is it cursed? Hosts read listener-submitted casting suggestions for a new Grindelwald, and we present our own suggestions! Would Colin Farrell come back as Graves/Grindelwald, and would that make sense? Will Grindelwald's appearance be worked into the plot of future films? And will this still be 5-part series? Guess That Book returns! Can the hosts correctly guess what Harry Potter book that four out-of-context audio clips are from? Quizzitch: Actor Jamie Campbell Bower starred alongside Johnny Depp in what film before FB2?
