In late 2019, it was announced that Disney would be moving forward in developing a script for a Pirates of the Caribbean <\/em>reboot. <\/p>\n At the time, it hadn’t formally been announced whether Johnny Depp would be attached to the new project.<\/p>\n Shortly after, in 2020, Depp became embroiled in a defamation case against The Sun <\/em>over a 2018 article that called him a \u201cwife beater,\u201d which he ultimately lost. <\/p>\n More recently, he participated in a defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard over a Washington Post <\/em>op-ed she wrote, allegedly implying he abused her. She counter-sued for $ 100m, accusing Depp of orchestrating a \u201csmear campaign\u201d against her and describing his lawsuit as a continuation of \u201cabuse and harassment\u201d.<\/p>\n The actor had testified in the Virginia trial that these defamatory statements had hurt his career and that he had been dropped from Pirates 6 <\/em>days after the op-ed was published.<\/p>\n On Wednesday (1 June), a verdict was delivered for the six-week trial, with a jury ordering Heard to pay Depp 10m (\u00a3 8m) in compensatory damages and $ 5m (\u00a3 4m) in punitive damages. Heard was awarded $ 2m (\u00a3 1.6m) in compensatory damages, but no punitive damages. <\/p>\n With his recent legal victory, questions remain about whether or not Disney will reconsider his exclusion from the forthcoming reboot.<\/p>\n Here’s everything we know so far about Johnny Depp’s future in Pirates 6.<\/em><\/p>\n
