It is rumored that the 59-year-old actor Johnny Depp receives more than $ 300 million to return to Pirates of the Caribbean after being unceremoniously kicked out of the franchise in 2018 over allegations of abuse of the former Amber Herd. A source close to "Disney" allegedly dropped the bomb in a new interview with the Australian media "Poptopic".

"The deal is supposedly for Johnny Depp to come back as Jack Sparrow," the little bird leaked to the entertainment website claimed.

Depp has starred in five films - "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the past 5 years, before Disney dropped him from the sixth and final part in anticipation of the 19-year-old Amber Herd from the Washington Post in 2018, which Depp claimed to have slandered as a domestic bully. This allegedly caused him to lose $ 22,5 million in salary.

However, following Depp's victory in the defamation lawsuit earlier this month, it looks like House of Mice may be ready to return him to the iconic role.

"Disney is very interested in calming the relationship with Johnny Depp," the source told Poptopic. "They contacted the actor before his defamation trial against Amber Heard and asked him if he would be interested in returning for one or two more Pirates movies.

Meanwhile, a speculated $ 301 million return deal would reportedly lead Depp to "return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6" and the Disney + spin-off series about the early life of Captain Black Pearl. ", Says the source.

"What I can tell you is that the studio has already written a draft film for Jack Sparrow, so they are very hopeful that Johnny will forgive them and return as his iconic character," the source said.
