Former Disney Exec Predicts Johnny Depp Will Return to Pirates Post-Verdict:
'There Is Huge Appetite'

June 02, 2022 04:50 PM


A former Walt Disney Studios executive thinks Johnny Depp could someday
return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise following his victory in his
defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

Depp, 58, won his defamation claims against Heard, 36, on Wednesday,
concluding a contentious six-week legal battle in Virginia that put their
private lives in the public eye. (Heard also won one of her three claims of
defamation, and her lawyer said Thursday that she plans to appeal.)
Afterward, Depp said in a statement that the jury "gave me my life back" and
the "best is yet to come" for him.

While Hollywood insiders have conflicting views on whether his career will
bounce back after the trial, a former Disney exec thinks Depp could be asked
to return to the Pirates franchise soon.

"I absolutely believe post-verdict that Pirates is primed for rebooting with
Johnny as Capt. Jack back on board," the former exec tells PEOPLE. "There is
just too much potential box-office treasure for a beloved character deeply
embedded in the Disney culture.


概翻：

一位前迪士尼高層認為，強尼戴普在對前妻安柏赫德之官司勝訴後，
有朝一日能夠重返《神鬼奇航》系列。

儘管官司勝訴，但不少業界人士對於強尼戴普是否能夠重回影壇巔峰保持存疑，
但該名高管認為強尼接下來可能很快會被要求回歸《神鬼奇航》。

該名高管向《時人》雜誌透露：

「我絕對相信在判決出爐後，神鬼奇航會找強尼戴普回來並重啟該系列。
  對於迪士尼來說這角色深植人心，而且潛在的票房商機實在太龐大了。」
