10 Big 2018 Movies You Should Be Worried About

1. Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them 2

Fantastic Beasts Grindelwald
Warner Bros.

Reason To Be Worried: Johnny Depp as Grindelwald.

Can Johnny Depp single-handedly spoil a movie? Yes.

Tim Burton's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. Mortdecai. Alice In Wonderland, and its 2016 sequel. His overly eccentric performances regularly fall into the 'annoying' category, with the actor often unable to dial down the cringe-factor and give his characters another personality trait besides 'bizarre'.

This shtick grew tiresome in all the aforementioned movies, and it could very well do the same in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them 2, which will see Depp reprise the role of Gellert Grindelwald after a brief cameo in last year's New York set wizarding adventure.

The sequel is set to be much darker than the first, exploring a bleak period in wizarding history that details the struggles of the magical community when faced with Depp's dark wizard, so here, the actor's wacky comedy routine would feel even more misplaced than usual.

Admittedly, we don't yet know how Depp will approach the role, with the first Fantastic Beasts not giving us much to go on. But what we do have to go on is the actor's prior filmography, and it doesn't exactly paint a convincing picture.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
