I DO wonder what they were thinking with the Depp casting, although it may have been before the abuse story came out.
It was filmed last year, so yeah it was definitely before everything involving the now known domestic abuse. :/
I heard that they wanted someone "iconic" for the role of Grindelwald, but what on earth made them think Depp was that person? Considering he has been hamming it up with phoning in his performances for the last several years now? It just feels like they picked a known name in Hollywood so the rest of the films will make bank. I know this is me being bitter and petty, but they honestly could've literally gotten anyone else but him for this role.
