10 Actors Who Won't Be Coming Back For Upcoming Sequels

Colin Farrell, who has had a bit of a career comeback lately, turned out to be a surprisingly good addition to last year's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, regardless of the initial confusion that followed his casting announcement.

In the movie, he played Percival Graves, a high-ranking Auror who is later revealed to be none other than evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald in disguise, by way of a Polyjuice Potion. As a result, we never actually got to see the "real" Graves and his fate was left unknown. Given that Farrell hasn't signed onto the upcoming sequel, however, one can assume that the studio are leaving the character alone (and he's dead?).

On the matter of his non-casting in any future flicks in the franchise, Farrell casually said: "It was always written that that was it. Maybe he’s buried in a shallow grave and he’s going to die of starvation 17 hours after the film ends.”

What It Means For The Film:

Going by his comments, Farrell doesn't seem too bothered about the fact that he won't be involved. Hey, sometimes once really is enough. As for the sequel itself: there's very little chance that it will suffer without this character being involved, given that the probable direction of the story has nothing to do with Graves.
