Disney Offers Johnny Depp $300 Million To Return To Pirate Of The Caribbean

After winning his defamation case against Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is apparently planning to “return” to Pirates of the Caribbean and is in negotiations with Disney about a “$300 million deal.”

Depp, who had starred in five Pirates movies over a 15-year period, got fired from the film after the 2018 release of Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The actor, 59, is said to have been in talks with Disney about a “$300 million deal” after winning his defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard, according to a source who spoke to Poptopic.

According to the insider, Disney has just contacted Depp in an effort to mend their broken relationship.

They said: “They reached out to the actor prior to his defamation trial against Amber Heard and asked whether he would be interested in returning for another pirate film or two.”

The source also mentioned that Disney Plus is planning another project. “The deal is reportedly for Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and a spin-off Disney Plus series about the early life of the Captain of The Black Pearl.”

“What I can tell you is that the studio has already penned up a draft for a film about Jack Sparrow so they are very hopeful that Johnny will forgive them and return as his iconic character,” the source added.

The media company is apparently working on a “$301 million deal” to persuade Depp to return soon, and as a gesture of goodwill, they are also believed to be adding a “sizeable donation” to a charity of Depp’s choice.

The Edward Scissorhands actor earlier declared to the jury that he would never again collaborate with Disney after being dropped from the sixth Pirates film.

His legal team asserts that Depp missed out on a $22 million payout as a result of Heard’s 2018 Washington Post op-ed, which did not specifically name Depp but did characterize him as a domestic abuser.
