Johnny Depp‘s life has undoubtedly been tough in recent years. The actor lost out on multiple possibilities after his ex-wife Amber Heard falsely accused him of domestic abuse. Disney denied internet rumours that Depp would be playing Captain Jack Sparrow again in a future film.
Depp is willing to work with Disney again, despite feeling betrayed by the rejection at the time, an exclusive insider tells People. “Anything is possible,” the insider said. If the project is appropriate, he will do anything.
Disney was “seemingly inching to keep the door open” to working with Depp again, according to a June 5 New York Times report.
Only a year after Depp and his ex-wife’s Amber Heard libel lawsuit and trials, a potential return of Jack Sparrow is expected.
The jury of seven ruled in favour of Depp, and Heard won one of the three counterclaims she filed.
Depp, on the other hand, recently told People that rumors of his comeback to the Pirates of the Caribbean films was untrue. He is also alleged to have rejected any idea of a return, even if it was for a massive $300 million.
With his defamation case against Amber Heard and the trial recordings still circulating online, as well as varied reactions from both inside and beyond the business, Depp must navigate his way through the storm once more.
While the industry was similarly perplexed about his return, an ex-Disney executive told PEOPLE, “I certainly believe that Pirates is poised for relaunch with Johnny as Capt. Jack has rejoined the team. There is simply too much potential box-office gold for a popular Disney character deeply ingrained in the society.
