Johnny Depp turned down $20 million to return to 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
Although fans around the world would love to see him again Johnny Depp in the role of Jack Sparrow, the actor unfortunately no longer plans to collaborate with "Disney", Writes"The Daily Mail".
Despite the many speculations about the actor's potential return to the franchise "Pirates of the Caribbean,” which could reportedly earn him as much as $20 million, his friends say he's done with Disney for good.
He is still furious about the way the studio cut him off after ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of domestic violence.
Last week, Disney Studios president Sean Bailey made headlines around the world when he said the studio was "not making any commitments at this time" about Depp's return.
Disney was widely understood to be leaving the door open for Depp following his victory in a Virginia court last year over domestic violence charges.
Friends of the actor say that Depp is not interested in appearing as Sparrow.
"They just threw it away and Amber was lying," said a friend of Depp's. He was reportedly offered $20 million to return to the role of Jack Sparrow.
To recall, at the end of last year, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said that they are "working on" bringing Depp back to the new installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Bruckheimer was open to the option of Depp returning to the Disney franchise because without his character, who appeared in all five installments, it is impossible to imagine the sixth installment.
The film was put on hold because it was not known how Depp's court case with Amber Heard would end, the reason Disney suspended the actor.
