Ex-Disney Exec Weighs In On Whether Or Not Johnny Depp Could ... (Cinema Blend)

Johnny Depp came out on top in court, so could Jack Sparrow return?

Later in the same interview by People, the same anonymous former Disney boss further explained why Johnny Depp returning to Pirates of the Caribbean might still be possible. While Johnny Depp has had a long and iconic career, his name is perhaps most associated with playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Corey was born and raised in New Jersey. Double majored in theater and literature during undergrad. The last we heard from Disney, there were two Pirates movies currently in development, neither of which involve Depp. But now that the 58 year-old actor won in court, could he return? The jury ultimately ruled in favor of Depp, while his ex-wife was found guilty on 3 counts of defamation, and fined for over $10 million. It’s almost hard to believe, but Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s long legal battle in court has reached a verdict.

Johnny Depp POTC Return Chances High, Says Former Disney Exec (Screen Rant)

A former Disney executive believes Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean return chances are high following his defamation trial victory.

During his defamation trial against Heard, Depp revealed the major salary he was offered to come back for a sixth film and his desire for it to conclude Jack Sparrow's story, but stated he would turn Disney down if they asked for him to come back for Pirates of the Caribbean 6, even if he was offered $300 million to come back. Bruckheimer himself has offered minor updates on the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean in recent months, namely confirmations that Margot Robbie's movie is still in development while also stating that Depp's future with the franchise is currently unknown. As producer Jerry Bruckheimer looks to inject new life into the franchise, one who was close to the Pirates of the Caribbean movies believe the future may lie in the hands of its lead star.

What Happens to Johnny Depp's and Amber Heard's Careers ... (Vanity Fair)

Johnny is part of a group of superstars that used to command these gigantic salaries. Any excuse Hollywood could use to not pay those figures, they're gonna ...

He had a cheerleading squad of international proportions.” Among the cheerleaders were men’s rights activists and even the Republicans of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. Moments after the verdict was announced, the GOP’s House Judiciary tweeted a GIF of Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean from its official account, presumably in support of his win. “It just felt gross to watch because it’s none of my business, their marital issues are not my business,” says a top film studio executive. How will all of this play out within Hollywood, which is still grappling with complicated issues raised by #MeToo? My colleagues Anthony Breznican, Rebecca Ford, and Britt Hennemuth and I spoke to entertainment industry insiders, many of whom are just as puzzled and unsettled by the case as the public at large. The #MeToo movement was in full swing at that point.” His talent agent, Jack Whigham, testified that it was impossible to secure him a studio film after the op-ed, describing it as “a death knell, catastrophic thing for Mr. Depp in the Hollywood community.” In 2020, Depp dropped out of the Fantastic Beasts franchise at the request of Warner Bros. (though he still received his full salary for the upcoming third film) after losing a U.K. libel case against The Sun, which had called him a “wife-beater.” “We are deeply concerned the Depp-Heard decision will set precedent exacerbating barriers victims face in coming forward,” the entertainment industry advocacy group Women in Film tweeted after the verdict was announced. Even if you didn’t watch a minute of it, the ambient stink was almost impossible to avoid as memes, hashtags, and videos bombarded social media feeds.

Will Johnny Depp Return to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Franchise? (Parade Magazine)

Johnny Depp portrayed Captain Jack Sparrow in all five films in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Will he return for a sixth movie?

Depp’s portrayal of Jack Sparrow in the original 2003 film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl earned him an Oscar nomination. Days after the publication of Heard’s op-ed, it was revealed that Depp would no longer be part of the Pirates franchise. A petition to have her cut from the film is nearing its goal. That has to change.” While Heard never mentioned Depp by name, it was implied that he was the subject given the timeframe and Heard’s previous accusations. While there are conflicting views on whether his career could bounce back from the accusations and all the personal details revealed during the trial, a tide is turning as the actor has seen an outpouring of support from the public — including some film executives. The divorce was settled in 2016 with the pair reaching a $7 million settlement.

Johnny Depp's accuser 'looks forward' to see the star in court after his huge win against Amber Heard.

“It is about the assault of a hard-working film crew member by the star of the production," Harris continued. "While we respect the jury’s decision, it has no relevance to Mr. Brooks’ case in Los Angeles," he told the outlet before adding, “Brooks' case is not about two Hollywood celebrities involved in a toxic relationship." During his conversation with The Sun, Brooks' lawyer Pat Harris appeared confident to face the Hollywood A-lister after his huge win in a defamation court battle.

What Really Happened at the Depp–Heard Trial—and How People ... (Slate Magazine)

A washed-up movie star, men's rights activists, and true-crime fans duped America.

Perhaps the bleakest aspect of the Depp-Heard verdict is that the trial itself was evidence that Heard was telling the truth. Absolutely—if you refuse to consider her argument that he was constantly gaslighting her about being the “real” abuser in the relationship. Heard had already experienced at least three incidents of violence in their relationship, according to her testimony, all of which took place when Depp was drinking—and after which he had promised to stay sober. He testified, for example, that he was too high on opioids to attack Heard during the airplane incident but his own texts (“angry, aggro injun in a fuckin blackout”) from the day after directly contradict that explanation. From the inception of his legal attack on his ex-wife, Depp has claimed that she engaged in a calculated, premeditated, yearslong project to destroy his life. As part of the settlement, she withdrew the abuse allegations, signed a nondisclosure agreement, and co-signed a vague, anodyne statement that the relationship had been “volatile” but “there was never an intent of physical or emotional harm.” Ellen Barkin, who was a friend and lover of Depp’s in the late ’90s, said he was controlling, jealous, and once threw a wine bottle across the room in one of his rages. In one, she says, “I cry in my bedroom after I dumped you a week prior after you beat the shit out of me,” and Depp replies, “I made a huge mistake. She eventually started taking pictures of him passed out in hotel rooms and nightclubs, evidence she could show him the next day to prove that he had a problem. In the middle of their final argument, Heard testified that he threw his phone at her, hitting her in the cheek. By 2014, Heard said she was the only person in his life who told him the truth about his anger and his drug problem—the “ lesbian camp counselor,” as he once memorably put it, who ruined his fun and reminded him of what he had done on the nights he couldn’t remember. Heard was about to film a movie with James Franco, an ongoing source of tension in their relationship because, she said, he was considerably younger than Depp and had made a pass at her on a previous film.

Johnny Depp Predicted to Return to Jack Sparrow Role by Former ... (MovieWeb)

A former Walt Disney Studios executive says that the appetite for Johnny Depp to return to Pirates of the Caribbean is too large to ignore.

Perhaps once the dust settles, the actor will have a change of heart and end up coming back for one more film. Depp confirmed that he really felt that way, based on how he felt betrayed by Disney cutting ties with him over allegations that were just determined by a jury to be false. During the trial, Depp testified that Heard's allegations had cost him his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

How Johnny Depp Can Collect That $10.4 Million From Amber Heard (TheWrap)

Legal experts tell TheWrap that the ”Pirates of the Caribbean“ star's post-verdict options range from mercy settlement to scorched earth.

But the open vitriol between Depp and Heard leaves open the possibility of something much more aggressive. “Johnny would really have no power to do that,” the defamation attorney said. Team Depp and Team Heard could also mutually agree on an amount she could pay right away, or a payment plan — but that would ultimately be Depp’s call. The first step is to locate Heard’s assets — bank accounts, properties, vehicles, personal property, earnings statements — and “attach” the judgment via state courts. But first things first: Heard has said she will appeal the verdict — and that she can’t afford to pay the penalty. If an appeals court agrees the defamation case was mismanaged in any way, the result could be altered or thrown out.

How Did Johnny Depp Become the Good Guy? (The Cut)

For the final time, the side chats on the Fairfax County Courthouse livestreams lit up on Wednesday — a cascade of cheering from Johnny Depp fans ...

(Though The Sun lambasted the choice to cast a “wife-beater,” writer J. K. Rowling had remained “ genuinely happy” to have Depp stay on.) Shortly before Depp sued Heard — over an article that did not name him — he filed a libel claim against The Sun for calling him a “ wife-beater.” In November 2020, a judge ruled that the tabloid’s reporting was “ substantially true,” finding that Depp had likely abused Heard in 12 of the 14 instances the court had considered. His substance use had reportedly gotten so out of hand by the time he shot the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie in 2015 that his chronic lateness would leave “hundreds of extras waiting for hours at a time,” to quote a Hollywood Reporter feature from 2017. Depp fans have been circulating conspiracy theories about Heard online — alleging she lifted lines of her testimony from The Talented Mr. Ripley ( no) and even that she killed her own mother to keep her from testifying at Depp’s U.K. trial ( also no). On the stand in Fairfax, Depp waved away his more damning asides as examples of his quirky, dark humor. Winter notes that the language of Heard’s op-ed reflects “careful legal vetting.” Heard did not write that she is a survivor of domestic abuse but that she is a “public figure representing” it — a point that’s hard to argue. If you have opened Instagram in the past several weeks and wondered why your “Explore” page is suddenly suggesting that Heard did cocaine in court (she didn’t), you have the Depp fanship to thank for that narrative. Depp’s lawsuit against The Sun surfaced new details, including Heard’s testimony that the relationship left her in fear for her life: “Some incidents were so severe that I was afraid he was going to kill me — either intentionally or just by losing control and going too far,” she told the British High Court. In one exchange, Depp mused about drowning Heard and setting her body on fire: “I will fuck her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she’s dead.” Audio and video recordings of an allegedly drunk Depp showcase a similarly profane vocabulary and tinderbox temper. In the courtroom, attorneys dissected Depp’s cruel and graphic text messages, in which he called Heard an “overused flappy fish market,” “waste of a cum guzzler,” and “ slippery whore,” among other creative insults. For the final time, the side chats on the Fairfax County Courthouse livestreams lit up on Wednesday — a cascade of cheering from Johnny Depp fans celebrating like their team just won the Super Bowl: Gooooo Johnny! Justice for Johnny! We love you, Johnny! A Virginia jury had just delivered its verdict in the case that has cannibalized headlines for the past six weeks: Amber Heard, the jury found, had defamed her ex-husband in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed identifying her as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp had been a charismatic mainstay at the trial throughout — winking at his supporters and rewarding their enthusiasm with Captain Jack Sparrow impressions outside the courthouse. Jurors saw Heard sob through a harrowing description of a fight in which she said Depp raped her with a liquor bottle.
