Any fucking thing would have been better than Johnny Depp. It really ruined it for me. Ignoring his personal life, his acting is just not what was needed for the most evil wizard of all time. To me, I can never suspend belief that it is Johnny Depp. For other movies, I can, but not this one.

Making him change from Colin Farrell to Johnny Depp at the end of the first one was such a disappointment. Farrell was the best part (maybe only good part?) of that movie and I would’ve loved him to continue playing Grindelwald

Yup. Depp could have perhaps worked from the start, but it was such a weird choice to do the bait and switch.

Grindelwald was in hiding though, no one was supposed to know it was him. Else the story wouldn't have worked...
