Johnny Depp: Ready to return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise?

On Wednesday, Hollywood was shocked to learn that Johnny Depp had won his defamation suit against Amber Hard.

Defamation lawsuits are notoriously difficult to win in American courts, and adversity seems to be hard.

Depp sued Hard for 2018 50 million for a 2018 article for The Washington Post where he identified himself as a victim of abuse, but did not name Depp.

Depp’s legal team had to prove that Hard lied, that he did it maliciously, and that the lie caused long-term damage to Depp’s career.

They also had to remove additional obstacles to prove that the article was about Depp, as Hard never mentioned his name.

Much of Tim Depp’s argument depends on the income he lost as a result of the post essay.

The biggest part of this loss was the $ 22.5 million that Depp was getting to work on the sixth installment of the profitable Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which was eventually canceled.

Depp may never see such a paycheck again, his lawyers argued, and it’s all because of Amber Hard.

But now that Depp has been so publicly proven that the long-awaited return voyage on the Black Pearl ship could be stopped?

Shortly after the verdict was announced, Depp issued a statement thanking the jury for giving it to him. “[his] Life comes back “and promises fans that” the best is yet to come. ”

And in fact, it seems that a former Disney executive, speaking to People magazine on condition of anonymity, agreed with Depp that the future of his career looks really bright.

“I fully believe after the verdict that the pirates were prime with Johnny to reboot Captain Jack on board,” the former executive told People.

“There’s a lot of potential box-office treasure for a favorite character deeply embedded in Disney culture.”

Insiders point out that so-called “legacy sequels” are all the rage these days, and Disney is probably already weighing its options for bringing Captain Jack Sparrow back to the big screen.

“With [producer] Jerry Brookheimer topped Tom Cruise’s huge success with the top song: Maverick, the hugely popular franchise, has a huge appetite for bringing back bankable Hollywood stars, “the producer said.

Of course, Depp famously commented that he would never return to the franchise, even if Disney “brought me $ 300 million and a million Alpacas.”

So the cost of his inquiries will probably be much higher than the $ 22.5 million studio previously set to pay.

It is also possible that Disney will decide that Depp has been so badly tarnished by the events of the past few years that he can no longer do banking as an A-list star.

Eyewitnesses called by Hard’s team claim that Depp’s lack of consistency and professionalism blacklisted him long before Amber came out in public with allegations of abuse.

The jury seemed to agree, as the তারা 10 million compensation they paid was far less than what Depp had requested, which seemed to be a disproportionate acknowledgment of the fact that he had no reason to lose the pirate’s job.

And when Depp’s case “won” (although Hard was also compensated, albeit in much smaller amounts), the press was so bad that it was impossible to imagine a large studio shelling to hire a fighter.

Currently, Depp is in the UK, where he is receiving rave reviews wherever he goes.

But it’s one thing to appreciate the guy and another thing to write him a 10-digit check in hopes of getting your investment back.
