Now its Amber Heards turn.
When Johnny Depp was cast as Grindelwald, I thought hed be wonderful in the role.
Harry Potter fans had legitimate questions and concerns about our choice to continue with Johnny Depp in the role.
As David Yates, long-time Potter director, has already said, we naturally considered the possibility of recasting.
I understand why some have been confused and angry about why that didnt happen.
Rowling wrote the script forFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindlewald.
However, conscience isnt governable by committee.
We recognized the magnitude of the issues raised and understood the strength of feeling expressed.
We hoped and strived at all times to be sensitive to both parties.
We stand by our decision to have Johnny in the films.
Whatever accusation was out there doesnt tally with the kind of human being Ive been working with.
Johnny isnt in that category in any shape or form.
So to me, it doesnt bear any more analysis.
Its a dead issue.
Heard will next appear in the stand-aloneAquamanmovie, which, likeFantastic Beasts, is made by Warner Bros.
