It’s the moment that Johnny Depp fans have been waiting for and in case you didn’t know, the celeb is all set to make a major comeback as Captain Jack Sparrow.
According to local media reports, an inside source at Disney recently revealed how the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been selected for the major return and that means a deal that’s worth nearly $301 million.
Depp had previously been dropped from the leading franchise in the year 2018 after Amber Heard had written an op-ed in the Washington Post about her being a survivor of domestic abuse.
The article was faced with humiliation and not allowed to return as the leading role of Captain Jack Sparrow during that team.
Now, however, there has been a mega transformation in the way things are now unfolding for Depp as Disney has been in talks with the celeb, ever since his defamation trial against Amber Heard was all set to begin.
And now that the verdict is over and he has won the case, proving his innocence, he’s being approached again and the actor doesn’t seem to mind being the leading role of the franchise again.
Fans and followers couldn’t control the excitement but many others are still keeping their fingers crossed until the deal is actually finalized because right now, the news has been leaked through an inside source with no confirmation by either Disney or Depp.
Also, some speculations are also running about how Depp’s representatives have recently denied such claims, adding how the news on social media is nothing but false. And if that happens to be the case, fans are going to be beyond devastated.
Hence, we can just wait patiently and have our fingers crossed because nothing is certain, especially when there is an actor as big as Johnny Depp involved.
