Mads Mikkelsen replaces Johnny Depp as the dark wizard Grindelwald in the third installment of the Harry Potter ‘prequel’
‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ could be understood at the time as an extension of the Harry Potter universe, a literary reference that marked several generations thanks to the amplification of its blockbuster. The spin-off series derived from the success of the books and movies doesn’t necessarily share the same characters, but does have numerous nods to the stories of JK Rowling’s magical world for the delight of fans of the million dollar franchise. The famous creator of the little wizard’s trials has been in the news lately for her transphobic comments on social networks.
‘Fantastic Animals: Dumbledore’s Secrets’ is also preceded by controversy, as Johnny Depp has been removed from its main cast over allegations of assault by his ex-partner, Amber Heard (they will appear in court on April 11, in a televised trial). is broadcast). Replaces the face of Eduardo Scissorhands as the villain of the show, the dark magician Gellert Grindelwald, an actor with an immense career, less theatrical, the ineffable Mads Mikkelsen, who took on the challenge of an acting imitation of a charismatic role that has already generated suspicions more would be missing on the internet.
Jude Law is still Albus Dumbledore, decades before he became Hogwarts headmaster. David Yates reprises behind the camera as a director, as in the first and second parts of a storyline led by the stellar performance of Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, winner of the gold statuette for his work in “The Theory of Everything.” They complete the casting of Ezra Miller, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Callum Turner, Jessica Williams and Katherine Waterston.
David Yates is more than concerned with the wonderful world of Harry Potter. He drew no less than four parts of the popular saga: ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’, ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’ and the last two parts of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’. In ‘Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets’, the perfidious Grindelwald continues to gain followers. Loyal minions join his sinister cause after escaping captivity in the previous chapter. To achieve his dark goals, he moves to the ends of the planet, between magical dimensions, for the sole purpose of achieving his evil goals, seizing the fantastic world and all that lies ahead. A terrible crusade in which two sides are clearly demarcated.
The great war between wizards seems inevitable and Dumbledore prepares his own army to prevent a massive catastrophe. A group of allies is involved in a clear mission, immensely dangerous, that will lead them to encounter strange creatures who find themselves in complicated situations, while the past of the enmity between the main protagonists of the wizards is revealed. The film was slated to shoot just as the pandemic exploded and finally sees the light of day in 2022 with a date change, moving the film from July 15 to April 8.
‘Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets’, the third part of an alleged five-episode saga, is set in the 1920s. It can be understood as a spy movie with elements of fantasy and adventure. Describe again the eternal struggle between good and evil. Loyalty is one of the themes present in an entertainment film that aims to convey emotion to the viewer with a barrage of visual effects. The bleak aesthetic surrounds a film that will especially please fans of the Harry Potter universe, one of the most evocative of current popular culture.
