Johnny Depp set to return to Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney reportedly offers $300 deal

Johnny Depp, the Hollywood star, is allegedly going to return to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ after being dismissed from the franchise in 2018. He played the role of ‘Captain Jack Sparrow’ in 5 movies of the franchise.

A close source to Disney told the Aussie outlet Poptopic that Johnny Depp has been in talks with Disney over a ‘$301 million deal’.

According to the source, Disney is interested in repairing the connection with Depp and has lately reached out to him.

“The deal is reportedly for Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow,” the source told.

The source told that Disney approached the actor before to his defamation trial against Amber Heard and asked if he would be interested in returning for another or two pirate movies.

According to the source, the contract is reportedly for Johnny Depp to return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 and a spin-off Disney Plus series depicting the early life of the legendary character.

According to the source, the media company is working on a ‘$301 million agreement’ to attract Depp to return to the franchise, as well as a’sizeable gift’ to a charity of Mr. Depp’s choice as a goodwill gesture.

During his recent trials, Depp informed the jury that he would not work with Disney again after being cut from the sixth Pirates film.

However, Disney is thrilled and eager to be working with the 58-year-old actor again, regardless of the project.

Depp’s legal team alleges Depp was denied a $22 million payout after Heard published an op-ed in the Washington Post in 2018 that unmistakably characterized him as a domestic abuser.

A US jury determined earlier this month that actress Amber Heard manufactured false abuse accusations against her ex-husband Johnny Depp and awarded him $15 million in damages.

The jury also sided with Amber Heard, who claimed Depp’s lawyer defamed her by calling her abuse accusations fake. She was given $2 million in damages. However, these figures are nothing compared to $15 million she has to pay now.
