Johnny Depp is Picking Up the Pieces of His Career

After his short-lived and tumultuous relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp’s career took a nosedive. She spoke out publicly about the abuse she received from Depp, but everything turned out much more complicated. The public was able to get a glimpse of the relationship between the two during their televised defamation suit. He lost the role of Grindelwald in the film Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore for the allegations against him. Many have hoped the rumors about his return to the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise were true. Fans took it as a sign his career was picking up again. Unfortunately, the rumors of a return for Depp to the Caribbean films have been false. Just because this was a false start for the actor doesn’t mean he won’t get other roles in the future. The defamation suit has put Johnny Depp in a more positive light.
