Johnny Depp's Rep Denies $301 Million Deal With Disney

 

American actor Johnny Depp's representative has denied all claims of the actor returning to Disney. A recent report claimed that Depp has been in talks with Disney to play his popular character Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

According to media reports, Disney sent an apology letter to Depp, along with an offer of $301 Million to return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. This comes four years after Disney cut all ties with Depp when his ex-wife Amber Heard spoke about being a domestic abuse victim in an op-ed in The Washington Post.

Johnny Depp Won't Be Back To Disney, Rep Confirms

Rumours about Depp making a comeback to the Disney film have been rife last week. However, Depp’s representative has confirmed to NBC News that 'This is made up'. He denied all the rumours about Depp's comeback to the Disney films.

During the televised trial, when the attorney, Ben Rottenborn, had asked Depp, "If Disney came to you with $300 million, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film, correct?" Depp replied, "That is true." Depp also said that the entire episode with Disney affected him.

Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case

Depp sued Heard over an op-ed she wrote in The WashingtonPost in 2018. Heard claimed to be a survivor of domestic violence in the op-ed but didn’t identify Depp as the abuser. Later on, she accused Depp of abusing her physically.

Earlier this month, a Virginia jury ruled in favour of Depp. They also ordered Heard to pay $10.35 million in damages. The judge also passed a written order for Heard to pay her ex-husband Depp $10.35 million for damaging his reputation through her op-ed. However,  Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, said that the actress cannot pay such a hefty amount.
