Hope is still alive for seeing Captain Jack Sparrow on the big screen again. It turns out Johnny Depp may return to Disney; a revelation thought dead due to the actor feeling betrayed by the company. A source close to the star has offered new statements from the 60-year-old actor about possibly working with Disney again, and he did not rule it out this time! Does this revelation pave the way for a potential new Pirates of the Caribbean film?
Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard
The strained relationship between Johnny Depp and the Walt Disney Company primarily stemmed from a legal dispute between the actor and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. She accused him of domestic violence during their divorce proceedings, which tainted Depp’s public image. As a result, Disney faced pressure to distance itself from him.
Over time, Depp lost many of his iconic roles across all major studios. Eventually, it was made public that Depp would not reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Although the relationship between Depp and Disney fell apart due to these events, it is important to note that Disney has not publicly disclosed specific details about their decision to part ways with Depp.
Johnny Depp primarily won a legal victory over Amber Heard. However, Disney has not announced any decisions to work with the actor again. Fans have not stopped pushing for it to happen and will likely never take no for an answer.
