From Daily Mail


quote:

The actor, 59, was the major lead in five Pirates movies over the past 15 years

He was dropped by the Disney franchise in 2018 after the release of Dead Men Tell No Tales

A source told Poptopic that the media house is working on a '$301 million deal' to coax Depp back

Depp sued Heard over the Washington Post op-ed in 2018 that didn't identify him, but clearly branded him as a domestic abuser

The Edward Scissorhands star told the jury he would not work with Disney again after executives made him feel 'guilty until proven innocent'



Disney Discarded this cash cow and are now willing to pay Depp a ridiculous amount of money to get him back...

I guess suing Amber Heard is going to pay off in a huge way

Before the Heard thing I bet most people would have rolled their eyes at another Pirates. I think the trial publicity could give this a big boost.

This was the whole point.

Even if he was an abuser, the trial swung public perception enough to where the public doesn't believe he is.

Just a reminder that these big corporations don't really give a shite about being woke. It's just to avoid financial losses (and sometimes going woke itself does this).

This won't return the franchise to its former glory. Disney will hack it down to size to appeal to their activist agenda. You'll still see the good ole Captain Jack Sparrow but he'll have a non-binary POC as his sidekick.

Somehow, a turd needs to have magical properties and finding it should be Jack Sparrow's quest.

Writers....get on it. Could set North American box office records.

I always figured that once Johnny was exonerated that Disney would beg him to come back to the Pirates world.

Daily Mail is a shite news site so I'm not sure of the validity of this being that it was also reported that Margo Robbie was to be the new lead. Unless Disney changes ship, because that's his role and his alone.

I predicted this. Disney is desperate, Depp is on fire right now and Pirates needs a reboot

If done right it’s a great franchise. Just needs a fresh take

I hope he does too, but he definitely won't. And I can't really blame him either.

Return to Pirates of Caribbean


Does anybody really want another PotC movie?

The first movie was great, is still great, and will always be great. But after that...particularly after 2 & 3...meh.

So if he was awarded in court based on his loss of Disney dollars, can she appeal based on the fact that he's getting that money from Disney anyway?

I missed this episode of Law & Order SVU.

I really don't get it with this franchise, the first was good and every other one was pretty awful.

I liked the second one as much as the first. After that, not so much.

haven't seen it in years but it felt like that one did the sequel mistake of "oh you guys liked the double crossings in the first one? Ok well now let's throw 50 of those in there!!"
