Who is the force that wants Johnny Depp to retire from his career?

As a veteran name in Hollywood, Johnny Depp was thought to be a 'power that no one dared to touch', but recently the actor revealed that he was once pushed aside by a big 'partner' during the time of the lawsuit with his ex-wife - Amber Heard.

It all happened when Johnny Depp was preparing to star in the Harry Potter prequel , Fantastic Beasts. And the one influencing this decision was Warner Bros. - one of the "big guys" in the film distribution and production industry.

The incident came during Depp's controversial libel trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, which resulted in Depp only filming one scene for the third film, The Secrets of Dumbledore, before being asked to leave and give the role to someone else.

The reason for this was because in the first trial in November 2020 in the UK, he lost to his ex-wife. But he immediately appealed in the US and "turned the tables". However, it was the first decision that cost him his job, leading to an estimated loss of $16 million when the role was replaced by actor Mads Mikkelsen.

Speaking frankly about this "power", Depp recently said: "At that time, people said all sorts of things about me, but I didn't care. Then one day they called me, and in a split second, somewhere around 1/1000 of a second, they said: 'I want you to withdraw from this role'. Hearing that, I kept thinking they wanted me to retire from my career. But I was wrong, it will be a long time before these things affect me."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, in 2020, before Depp was asked to withdraw from the role, Warner Bros. signed a contract with the actor without any moral clauses to appear in the third part of the Fantastic Beasts series. Therefore, after legal disputes, the studio had to pay the actor the full amount of $ 16 million.

Warner Bros. stated at the time: "Johnny Depp will be leaving the Fantastic Beasts franchise. We thank Johnny for his contributions to the films to date."
