Johnny Depp Returns To Acting With Short Film For Sea Of Dawn
Johnny Depp returns to the screen with a short film for Sea of Dawn, a new mobile game. The Pirates of the Caribbean star was once one of Hollywood's most commercially successful actors and has a long list of blockbuster movies to his name. Aside from portraying Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's Pirates franchise, Depp is known for starring in multi-movie hits such as Alice in Wonderland and Fantastic Beasts. He is also a three-time Oscar nominee. However, Depp's reputation has suffered greatly in recent years.
In 2018, amid legal battles involving his ex-wife Amber Heard and her domestic abuse accusations against him, Depp was asked by Warner Bros. to resign from the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Subsequently, plans for him to do a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film were dropped by Disney. Depp then took on several smaller projects and last appeared on the big screen with the limited release Minamata in 2020. While the film was critically praised, it was a stark contrast to the actor's previous box office projects, grossing only $1.7 million against a budget of $11-13 million. Most recently, Depp made headlines for his defamation trial against Heard, which was ruled in favor of the embattled actor.
