In a surprising turn of events, the highly publicized trial involving Johnny Depp may have inadvertently caused more harm to his career than the initial accusations made by Amber Heard. The televised proceedings transformed into a global spectacle, scrutinizing Depp and Heard's tumultuous marriage.
Both parties faced scrutiny, with allegations of abuse, addiction, and erratic behavior surfacing. Since the trial's conclusion, Depp has only appeared in the 2024 French film "Jeanne du Barry."
However, sources close to the actor reveal that Depp is planning a significant comeback. He is currently collaborating with Penélope Cruz on the upcoming thriller "Day Drinker," a project that marks the beginning of his return to mainstream Hollywood.
According to an insider, Depp's victory in the trial against Heard has opened doors for him to rebuild his reputation. He is now in a better headspace and focusing on his well-being, aiming for a triumphant return.
Depp's strategy involves gradually re-establishing himself in Hollywood. He began with international productions and is now re-entering the mainstream film industry.
Rumors of a sixth "Pirates" film have been circulating, with reports suggesting Depp's potential involvement. The British tabloid The Express claims Depp is in advanced talks for the film.
A sixth installment in the mega-budget series would solidify Depp's comeback, but Disney faces a billion-dollar gamble. The allegations against Depp could potentially damage the film's success, leading to embarrassment for the brand.
