Disney has nothing to offer Johnny Depp to make him return to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. This statement was made by the actor himself during cross-examination in the defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
"Mr. Depp, what if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing in the world would make you come back and work with Disney on a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Right?" asked Amber Heard's attorney Ben Rottenborn. "That's true, Mr. Rottenborn," Depp replied.
Recall that Depp and Heard were involved in a legal battle for several years after Heard divorced Depp and then obtained a temporary restraining order against him in May 2016. In 2018, the actress wrote an article to the Washington Post, and the relationship between the ex-spouses escalated. Johnny Depp later filed a defamation lawsuit against the British tabloid The Sun after the publication called the actor a "wife-beating man" in a 2018 article. Depp lost both the original lawsuit and the appeal. The current trial is taking place in Virginia. The spouses are demanding huge compensation from each other.
