was to have been paid $22.5 million for a sixth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie but the project was scrapped by Disney after his ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of domestic abuse in a Washington Post op-ed, the actor’s agent said Monday.
Whigham, who has been Depp’s agent since 2016, said that a deal had been reached with Disney for the actor to appear as Captain Jack Sparrow in a sixth installment of the lucrative “Pirates” franchise.But Disney decided to go in a “different direction” following the December 2018 publication of the op-ed in the Post, Whigham said.
The 36-year-old Heard, who had a starring role in “Aquaman,“ never named the 58-year-old Depp but he sued her for implying he was a domestic abuser and is seeking $50 million in damages. Whigham, under cross-examination by Heard’s lawyers, said the agreement with Disney on Depp’s compensation for another “Pirates” movie was “verbal” and there was no signed contract.Whigham also listed Depp's compensation for a number of other movies he made in 2017.
