And the jury has found Amber Heard guilty of defamation, ordering her to pay $15 million in damages. However, Johnny’s win have fuelled many speculations about the actor reprising his role in the Pirates franchise.
According to reports, a former Disney executive said, "I absolutely believe post-verdict that Pirates is primed for rebooting with Johnny as Capt. Jack back on board.There is just too much potential box-office treasure for a beloved character deeply embedded in the Disney culture."
For the unversed, Johnny Depp confessed during the Virginia trial that he would pass on the offer if Disney ever approaches him in future. After Heard’s attorney asked Depp, “The fact is, Mr Depp if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film? Correct?” to which Depp replied, “That is true.”
Depp’ fans have been waiting sinces ages for another film of Pirates. It has been one of the most successful franchise films for Depp and the actor’s performance as Captain Jack Sparrow has been loved by every group of generation.
