Johnny Depp may soon return to the magical world of Disney. According to People reports, Depp, who has made it abundantly clear in the past that he has been disappointed with Disney, would be open to a possible future collaboration. The insider added, “Anything is possible.” “If the project is right, he will accept it.”
Although it was not specified whether Depp would like to return for another Pirates of the Caribbean film, The New York Times reported in a June 5 article that Disney would “open the door” to a possible collaboration with the actor.
Johnny Depp’s return to Disney could be soon
The rumor of a possible return to his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow comes just a year after the controversial defamation lawsuit Depp faced against his ex-wife Amber Heard. Despite Heard winning one of the three trials, the jury found Depp innocent.
Pirates of the Caribbean saga producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in an interview published to the British newspaper The Times, when Johnny Depp was still involved in his legal process, that his team was developing two scripts for new films in the series. One of these would focus on the character played by Margot Robbie, while the other would be an option without Depp’s involvement. Bruckheimer stressed that Depp is not currently involved in the project, but indicated that the future has not yet been decided.
No one knows what his role might be
Johnny Depp’s eventual return to Disney’s favor will be a pivotal moment for both parties, symbolizing a possible reconciliation after past differences. It remains to be seen whether the actor will accept a new chapter in his adventure with Pirates of the Caribbean or whether he will choose an entirely different path within the Disney universe. There are still many surprises in the future and only time will tell which path Johnny Depp will take.
