Specifically, according to Poptopic, Disney is preparing a contract worth $ 301 million as an official apology to Johnny Depp and expect him to return to the legendary role of Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series.

At the trial in May, when asked by Amber Heard’s lawyer if Depp would turn down a $300 million offer from Disney to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, the actor replied: “It’s true. “.

$300 million is a “huge” number, which seems like a joke, but it seems Disney is willing to spend a lot of money and provide Depp with more resources, to expect him to return to work with the studio.

A source close to Disney told Poptopic: “Disney is very interested in mending their relationship with Johnny Depp. They contacted the actor prior to his defamation trial and Amber Heard has a final verdict on June 1. Disney asked Depp if he would like to return for another Pirate movie or two.

The source added, “The Mouse House” sent Johnny Depp a gift basket along with a “very sincere letter”. The studio also wrote the script for a spin-off series about Jack Sparrow’s early life.

“They are very hopeful that Johnny Depp will forgive and return to his iconic character,” the source confirmed.

Notably, according to this source, Disney is willing to spend heavily, surpassing the $300 million figure that Heard’s lawyer once mentioned. Johnny Depp could receive $301 million if he accepts Disney’s apology and reaches an agreement with the studio.

In addition, the Mouse House agreed to pour more money into the charity that Depp represents, to show goodwill and desire to work with the actor.

However, recently, a spokesman for Johnny Depp confirmed to Fox News, the 59-year-old actor is not in talks to reprise the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series.

In 2018, Johnny Depp was kicked out of the Pirates by the Mouse House, when Heard said she was a victim of domestic violence.

In court, Depp once said he felt betrayed by Disney and disappointed that the company had rejected him. That’s why Depp insists he will not mend with Disney even though the studio spends $300 million to invite him back.

Meanwhile, as for Amber Heard, she suddenly got into a new problem, that is, being urgently investigated. Just a few weeks after losing the blockbuster lawsuit, the actress was urged by the court to pay $10.35 million (over VND 240.8 billion) in compensation to Johnny Depp.

On June 29, the Daily Mail and ET Online both simultaneously reported that the 36-year-old female star is still being investigated by the police for perjury in an ongoing trial in Australia.

A spokesman for the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment confirmed the Department was investigating Amber Heard for perjury during court proceedings about the illegal import of two dogs into Australia in 2015.

This made the public surprised by the miserable prospect of the Aquaman star: paying hundreds of billions of debt to her ex-husband, being urged by the court, ruined career, being ostracized by the public and still facing new charges. .
