Fans of Johnny Depp believe the actor received a letter of apology from Disney as well as a lucrative salary offer to return for a new Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Johnny’s rise to fame was aided by the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean film, which praised the actor for his portrayal of Jack Sparrow.
However, after Disney made the decision not to invite him back, his role quickly came to an end. Fans now believe that they may finally have another chance to watch him in the part.
Why was Johnny Depp removed from the Pirates of the Caribbean series by Disney?
During the trial, it was revealed once more that Disney had let Johnny Depp go due to Heard’s accusations of domestic violence. Depp was fired from the well-known movie franchise four days after Amber Heard’s opinion piece appeared. His professional life started to decline. Depp, who was once among the highest-paid performers, was now fighting to not only resurrect his profession but also to restore his reputation.

It all began as a result of a Poptopic article. The publication asserted that a Disney insider had disclosed that Johnny was in discussions to return in the picture. The insider added that the offer implied that a portion of the proceeds would be donated to Johnny’s preferred charity.
According to the Australian website Poptopic.com, Disney has apologized to Johnny Depp. One insider said, according to them, “I know corporate gave him a gift basket with a very heartfelt note, but I’m unsure how it was received.”

However, unless the same is formally announced, nothing can be said to be real. As previously stated, the screenwriters don’t have any plans to recast Jonny Depp.
The company was trying to revive the series, according to screenwriter Stuart Beattie. “He’s had a fantastic run, in my opinion. Obviously, he has made that character his own, and that is now what everyone knows him for. Both he and we have benefited much from it. Don’t sulk because it’s over; instead, grin because it happened, goes the adage. The fact that they are resetting anything you did indicates that what you did was worthwhile. It’s a privilege, “He said to DailyMailTV.
i hope he doesn't.

I want Disney to fail miserably and publicly with pirate franchise so hard that they shelve it, and everybody remembers forever that this is what happens when you do Johnny Depp wrong.
