Johnny Depp Makes a Comeback to the Big Screen
After a break following his last film, Minamata, in 2020, Johnny Depp is returning to acting. His comeback follows a highly publicized trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, marking his first project since abuse allegations emerged in 2016, leading to a pause in ongoing projects. Throughout this hiatus, petitions, including one with over 3 million signatures, have called for Heard’s removal from Aquaman 2.
In Maiwenn’s upcoming film, Louis XV, Johnny Depp takes on the role of the French king. The movie is slated to start filming in France this summer, featuring iconic Parisian sites like the Versailles Palace, with a three-month shooting schedule. Depp’s career faced challenges amid his legal battle with Amber Heard, leading to his exit from the Fantastic Beasts trilogy at Warner Bros.’ request in 2020 after losing a libel case against The Sun.
