During the trial that he has been facing against Amber Heard, the actor gave his opinion on whether he was willing to return to being Jack Sparrow, a character that gave him world fame.
If fans thought that Johnny Depp would return to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, this will no longer be the case. With the trial for defamation that he maintains with his ex-wife Amber Heard in process, the interpreter spoke about his future and how the role of Jack Sparrow is no longer in his plans.
Depp, who achieved his global star status with his portrayal of the captain of the Black Pearl in 2003, walked away from the saga after Disney cut him from the project following Heard’s first accusations of domestic violence.
With the trial in progress, and with Johnny Depp already testifying before the judge, the interpreter responded to the actress’s lawyer, Ben Rottenborn, if his legal situation cost him the job he had agreed with Disney, which involved a new movie of ” Pirates of the Caribbean”. He said yes.
“The fact is, Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million, nothing in the world would allow you to work with them again? Correct?” Depp replied: “That is true, sir, not even for that amount.”
Under cross-examination, Rottenborn sought to show that Disney had already made the decision not to feature Depp in a future film before Amber Heard wrote her op-ed.
The lawyer showed a Daily Mail news story from October 25, 2018, where it is mentioned that Johnny Depp was “out of the role of Jack Sparrow”. The actor responded that he “wasn’t aware of that,” but wasn’t surprised considering “Disney was trying to cut ties with him to be safe as a company.”
