franchise.waited until we felt like we had enough information to fully evaluate the rumor before reporting on it. Here's what we found.lashed out at the star in its March issue with the outright bitter headline of"Jack Sparrow Eats Crow!" According to the magazine, the"cash-strapped" Depp had a change of heart of sorts and was hoping to rejoin the film series.
However, the source argued that Depp was so desperate for cash that he'd only return for a big contract, which doesn't exactly make sense and doesn't ever get explained."He'll return for a huge fee — $50 million," which just so happens to be the same amount mentioned in his defamation suits. The outlet's tipster then said that Depp"expects Disney to see the error of their ways and bring him back for at least one more movie.
There's one thing that really sticks out as wrong about this story. On the surface, it seems vaguely believable, but it just takes one look at the numbers to realize how silly this report is. For 2011's, Johnny Depp walked away with $55 million. In what world would Depp, as it progresses, be paid less after nearly a decade for what would be an even bigger project? We still don't even know what the future of the franchise holds.
