The Daily Mail reported on June 8 that fans are very much hoping to see Johnny Depp return as “Captain Jack Sparrow.” However, he may be disappointed as sources close to the actor indicate he does not have plans to work with Disney again.
Despite speculation about Johnny Depp’s possible return to Disney, which has reportedly lost up to $20 million, the actor has expressed that he is still hesitant about working with the film studio again. Disney had already dropped him during his turbulent period filled with controversies and ongoing legal disputes.
Last week, Sean Bailey, chairman of Walt Disney Studios, raised eyebrows when he mentioned that the studio is not open to discussing whether Johnny Depp would return.
Initially, the decision about Johnny Depp’s potential return as “Captain Jack Sparrow” was not a topic of discussion among film enthusiasts and fans of the actor.
However, insiders revealed that Johnny Depp does not harbor any particular enthusiasm for the idea, as he is still processing the emotional toll from being dropped shortly after the legal troubles surfaced.
Following the significant emotional strain from his legal battle with Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is currently focusing on redirecting his career and is concentrating on music, art, and directing independent films. He seems to be distancing himself from the Hollywood blockbuster scene he once dominated.
