Does Disney want Johnny Depp back for more Pirates of the Caribbean movies — and is he the one saying NO???
Johnny’s Oscar-nominated performance as Captain Jack Sparrow fueled the success of the franchise, and for many there are no Pirates movies without him. But after Amber Heard‘s accusations of domestic abuse, Disney had made it pretty clear they were done with Depp. Last week, however, Disney studios President Sean Bailey took a more neutral position, saying the Mouse House was “noncommittal” on the subject of bringing back Johnny. This of course follows the actor’s big defamation lawsuit win against his ex-wife, in which a Virginia jury (and a solid percentage of the court of public opinion) found it was more likely she was lying and possibly had even abused him.
But for fans hoping Johnny Depp’s big Hollywood comeback would mean more Captain Jack, it looks like that won’t be happening. Friends of the star told DailyMail.com on Thursday that he’s done for good with Disney after the studio distanced themselves from him over the allegations. Johnny said at his film premiere in Cannes that he doesn’t feel like he’s been “boycotted” by Hollywood — but one pal said behind closed doors he is bitter about Disney after they “blind dropped him even though Amber had lied her ass off.”
