Fired from the sixth film in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise after the publication of an article on domestic violence signed by Amber Heard, Johnny Depp – now victorious in the lawsuit he filed against her – may return to the cast of the film in a future sequel.
According to the website of the magazine “People”, Disney will not despise “the enormous potential at the box office” that a possible return of Depp would represent and, therefore, should call him for a conversation. To confirm the interest, one thing is certain: the negotiation will not be easy. Not expensive at all.
Depp’s heartache with Disney is huge. In his testimony during the trial, Jack Sparrow’s interpreter said, in no uncertain terms, that he would not work with the company again, even if he was offered a salary of $300 million.
“I didn’t quite understand how, after a long relationship, and a relationship that was certainly successful for Disney, I was suddenly found guilty before I went on trial,” he said.
“Pirates of the Caribbean” producer Jerry Bruckheimer is in high spirits in Hollywood after his sure bet on Tom Cruise’s return to “Top Gun: Maverick.” The idea of ​​bringing back popular stars to massively popular movie sequels definitely makes sense. And that’s what Disney seems willing to bet on.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Bruckheimer did not completely rule out Depp’s return: “The future is yet to be decided,” he said, adding that there are two scripts in the works – one of which includes “Harley Quinn” actress Margot Robbie. “, as the star of a female version of “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
