Johnny Depp has had a long and very successful career as a character actor. Some of Depp’s best roles include Jack Sparrow and various Tim Burton characters, but he has been noticeably absent from the Hollywood landscape for years now. This is undoubtedly linked to his infamous relationship with Amber Heard and their complicated legal battle. So is Johnny Depp back on major Hollywood projects? Here is the latest update.
The former couple made countless headlines during their courtroom confrontations, with Depp and Heard making heartbreaking allegations of violence against the other. After the verdict was announced, both celebrities largely distanced themselves from the film industry. While Depp’s first film after the trial Jeanne du Barry finally arrives in the United States, does he want to return to Hollywood for a major release? According to a report from TMZ, he is not ruling out the possibility, but is primarily focused on directing for the moment.
An anonymous source told the publication that Depp is not ruling out a return to Hollywood in the future, but is staying in Europe for now and working behind the camera. This timeline makes perfect sense, since he’s filming the next movie. Modi, which is his first directorial venture in 25 years. We’ll just have to see how much distribution the projects ultimately get.
Although it is still early in Depp’s professional return, Modi has some A-list actors attached, including Robert De Niro. This will undoubtedly help to attract more attention to the project. We’ll just have to see if it gets a wide theatrical release in the United States.
Filming on Depp’s film began in September, so he and the cast are likely to be deeply involved in the project. Perhaps he could pursue a mainstream project afterward, although Depp left Hollywood after the trial and has been living in Europe ever since. He toured as a musician the following year, but some fans wanted to see him back on the big screen in a major role. There was even a fan petition to see Depp return as Jack Sparrow in the film. Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
It’s been interesting to see how Johnny Depp has chosen to dive back into the industry since his defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard ended. In addition to filming Jeanne du Barry And Modi, he made a few major appearances right after the verdict was revealed. This includes a surprise appearance at the VMAs and an appearance on Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty show (which can be streamed with an Amazon Prime subscription).
Only time will tell if/when Johnny Depp appears in a major Hollywood production. In the meantime, check out the 2024 movie release dates.
