This marks Mikkelsen’s fourth time participating in a blockbuster franchise, having previously appeared in Casino Royale (the James Bond film series), Doctor Strange (the Marvel Cinematic Universe) and Rogue One (the Star Wars universe).
With Fantastic Beasts 3 having been pushed to summer 2022 due to the Grindelwald recasting, as well as COVID-19-related complications, it’ll be a while until we get our first taste of Mads Mikkelsen in the role.
However, if we’re lucky, maybe before Fantastic Beasts 3 wraps up filming, or shortly thereafter, Warner Bros will release a photo of Mikkelsen in character as an appetizer of what’s to come.
