As Johnny Depp awaits his return to acting at home, many of us are wondering what his Hollywood career will look like. After all, Jeanne du Barry — a period piece in which he plays Louis XV — won’t exactly be a mainstream hit in North America. Will he work for Disney again in another Pirates of the Caribbean film or did this opportunity walk the plank? Judging by recent comments, he may be looking for more original material in this new phase of his career, which could also allow him to avoid the studio system.
In a new interview with Metro, Johnny Depp noted that no matter how much money franchise films can make, he suspects moviegoers still crave something original. “Overall, for the majority of the years I’ve been wandering around aimlessly, talking to people, they really want the same thing… They don’t want to be fed trash. They are happy when they experience something new or different. That’s why I always felt that as an actor, it’s your responsibility. When you take the plunge every time… you put as much on the line as anyone.
Considering Johnny Depp is on hiatus – having not appeared in a film since 2020 and having been embroiled in a 2022 lawsuit with his ex Amber Heard – he himself has a lot at stake. This will first be seen with Jeanne du Barrywhich will be released in cinemas nationwide next month.
Thanks to this, the star can also show what he has outside of mainstream cinema, perhaps also highlighting the end of his days as a successful star. Of studio heads and the industry as a whole, he said: “They are disposable and they realize it. Glorified accountants who have the ability to press the green light and make studio films… but they press the green light, they spent tons of money. The budgets are ridiculous on these films…a romantic comedy with two very popular characters. People – real people – are fed up. It should be noted that the average budget of a Pirates of the Caribbean the film cost $255 million, with On foreign tides reaching a record $379 million!
Whether Johnny Depp will direct another blockbuster remains to be seen, but if he keeps his word, it looks like he’s putting most of his effort into being involved in original stories with reasonable budgets, which is something we haven’t really seen . in which he has been diving since the 1990s… And we are here for that!
