Amber Heard reportedly eyeing Harry Potter’s role. Scroll down to know the details!
The famous Pirates of the Caribbean superstar, Johnny Depp was removed from the fantastic beast franchise last fall. Ever since then, Johnny Depp fans have been crusading to get Warner Bros to hire him back as Gellert Grindelwald. The studio, however, isn’t looking in any mood to budge on this decision. Rather they have collaborated with Mads Mikkelsen to take over the role. To add to the top of this already bad news, WB is in talks and planning to someone cast someone that might actually “blow the lid off” Johnny’s fan club: his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Giant Freaking Robot (GFR) reported that Amber is trying to get herself attached to the “Harry Potter” franchise and grab a role for herself. The actress who was also seen in Aquaman is battling to strengthen her relations with WB and catch a role in “Harry Potter” where formerly her former husband used to work.
The sources though aren’t clear that whether Amber is trying to associate herself with the “Fantastic Beast Series” or eyeing a role in the “Harry Potter HBO Max series” which is also currently in making. GFR however also reported that it might be the latter where she wants to work because that will give her an “ongoing presence” in the franchise and not just a one-off gig.
Speculations also reveal that it would also actually distance her from the part of the franchise Depp was previously attached too. The actress also has a history with the streaming series, starring in “The Stand”. And reportedly she’s trying to increase her build in the movie business, so maybe she’s also looking for some other roles that we are unaware of. The sources indicate that her interest in the franchise is all because Depp was forced out of Fantastic Beast following her UK libel case where he was called a “wife-beater” in the British press, which went in Amber’s favour.
Interestingly, she was always interested in joining the Harry Potter franchise but didn’t while Johnny was also a part of it. But now that he’s out and even after numerous efforts from his fans, there’s no chance he’s coming, Amber wants to grab the opportunity with both hands. But we’ll have to wait and see how this “speculative analysis” pans out but something’s that for sure are happening is that the actress will return in Aquaman 2 as “Mera”, whose shooting begins this summer.
