Johnny Depp fans have seen their favorite actor’s reputation hanging by a thread following the scandal that sparked his failed marriage to Amber Heard. After losing the trial for marital abuse in the United Kingdom, the actor has been released from the film projects in which he was participating, as was the case in Fantastic Beasts 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean

The one who has come out winning in this entire affair has been his ex-wife Amber Heard, as the actress was not punished by the studios with which she is currently collaborating, and it has even been rumored that several companies have approached her, proposing important roles in world famous franchises.

Ironically, a report has been released detailing that Mera’s interpreter will appear alongside Margot Robbie in the film reboot of Pirates of the Caribbean, a film saga that for years starred her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

In addition to the trial against the London newspaper The Sun, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard will face each other once again in a United States court, as the actor still holds a lawsuit against his ex-wife for defamation, which he’s counting on will help clean up his reputation in Hollywood

Following the announcement of the $50 million lawsuit against the Aquaman co-star, Disney announced that it would restart the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, leaving out Johnny Depp. The actor attributed this decision from Disney to an article published by Amber Heard in The Washington Post, where he recounted his alleged experience as a victim of marital abuse. 

After the ruling in favor of The Sun newspaper was announced, numerous analysts and media have assured that Johnny Depp’s career ended. However, the actor still hopes that the US trial will clean up his image a bit. 

According to Hollywood Insider and Influencer Daniel Richtman, Amber Heard is in talks with Disney to work on the Pirates of the Caribbean reboot, opposite Margot Robbie. The two actresses are part of the DC Extended Univers, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Amber Heard as Mera, so they already know each other. 

So far little is known about the plot of this new installment of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ as well as the role of Margot Robbie, but it has been something that has caused an uproar due to the departure of Depp. The addition of Amber Heard to the cast would drive a stake through many fans’ hearts and probably deter many from watching it.
