Fans have left divided about the switch-up of the villainous character, with one person tweeting:
Mads looks okay, but, doesn’t give off the same feel or seizing the moment presence that Johnny did…..
However, others disagreed with this early assessment, with another arguing:
Johnny Depp was frankly misfit for the role, @theofficialmads looks so good.
The official movie synopsis reads:

Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission, where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines?
