June 28, 2022 Johnny Depp In Talks To Return To ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’

Johnny Depp In Talks To Return To ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’

Following his departure from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise in 2018, actor Johnny Depp is allegedly in discussions to join the series again.

According to The Insider, the studio has taken steps to mend its relationship with the star with a $300 million contract.

They reached out to the actor prior to his defamation trial against Amber Heard and asked whether he would be interested in returning for another pirate film or two,” the source shared.

”The deal is reportedly for Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and a spin-off Disney Plus series about the early life of the Captain of The Black Pearl.”

They continued: “What I can tell you is that the studio has already penned up a draft for a film about Jack Sparrow so they are very hopeful that Johnny will forgive them and return as his iconic character.”

After appearing in the 2017 film Dead Men Tell No Tales, Depp was fired from the franchise in 2018. The same year, his ex-wife Amber Heard published an opinion piece in the Washington Post describing her experience as a victim of domestic violence. Before 2018, Depp starred in five Pirates films during a 15-year period.

Recall that Depp and Heard both recently made news following his victory in a defamation lawsuit against her about the Washington Post Op-Ed. Although the judge ultimately lowered the punitive damages judgement to $350,000 due to a state cap, Depp was initially given $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

Heard had stated that she intended to challenge the judgment, claiming that she was in danger of becoming bankrupt. She has also spoken to the media about the unfavorable decision, accusing them of buying into the star's lovable and larger-than-life on-screen character.
