Following the actor’s victory in his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, there were rumors that he was working on a $301 million agreement for his potential return as the iconic Disney character.
Unfortunately for Johnny’s followers, the rumor is untrue, as his representative revealed in a statement to NBC News.
A source told us that the arrangement has been made purportedly for Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow and is valued at about $301 million USD. Disney is reportedly quite interested in seeing the pirate make another appearance on the big screen.
Johnny Depp Could Return As Captain Jack Sparrow In A $301M USD Deal
According to the insider, Disney is highly interested in mending their relationship with Johnny Depp. They asked the actor if he would be interested in returning for another “Pirates” film or two before his defamation trial against Amber Heard.
According to the insider, Disney is sending Depp a gift basket and a “very sincere letter” in an apparent attempt to make amends. In an effort to win the actor’s forgiveness and get him to reprise his “iconic character,” he also said that they had already written the first draft of a movie about Jack Sparrow.
The announcement follows Depp’s protracted court fight with his ex-wife Amber Heard, in which the actor came under fire when Amber Heard was accused of domestic violence and sexual assault, in an opinion piece published in 2016. Depp lost a lot of money and prospects from jobs, including Captain Jack Sparrow, as a result of the claims. There hasn’t been any official word from either party about any developments with the agreement.
Johny’s representative spoke about the rumor and regarding our source-based report, Johny’s representative informed us that talks about Disney are all made up. It follows Johnny’s statement to Amber’s attorney during the trial that “nothing in this world,” not even $300 million, could persuade him to return to Disney and work on a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
Hollywood A-lister Johnny Depp is finally receiving an unbelievable offer from Disney! It must have been terrible when Depp started to experience a significant decline in his career after Amber Heard published an opinion piece in the Washington Post. He exerted more effort, but it was in vain because his reputation had already been ruined. As a result, he stopped receiving proposals from producers. However, it is also claimed that due to his lack of professionalism, Disney never made a commitment to include him in the impending series.
Now, Margot Robbie is reportedly in talks to join Pirates of the Caribbean 6, which is still present in development. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer was questioned about the status of “POC 6” in an interview with The Sunday Times. He confirmed that Margot Robbie is being considered and they are in contact now. He added they’re working on two different Pirates scripts, one with her and one without.
