The leading American actor, Johnny Depp, is preparing for a major return to Hollywood after years of major film production, following the sensational legal battles with former husband Amber Heard.
Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge’s character in the new film “Ebenezer” — an adaptation to Charles Dickens’ famous work — “A Christmas Carol,” which is being performed by the Paramount studio.
The film is expected to be shown at American and British cinemas on 13 November, the BBC reports.
The actor’s recovery comes after a difficult time in his career. In 2020, Depp missed a libel trial against the British newspaper The Suné, which had named him a former husband’s bully. After that decision, Warner Bros dismissed him from the series Fantastic Beasts.
Two years later, he won a US libel trial against Amber Heard after an article in the Washington Post. The issue received great international attention and was turned into one of the most commented trials in recent years.
Already, the new film is seen as an opportunity for Depp to return to the center of the film industry. In the promotional trainer, the actor is shown in the role of Scoogee, while recalling some of his most popular characters, such as Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands and Mad Hatter.
However, his return has also sparked mixed reactions in Hollywood. Some public relations experts have criticised the way the film is promoted, while others estimate that financial success and public expectations could pave the way for actors to other major projects.
According to reports on a test show, the film has received 86 points out of 100, while projections of the website éBox Office Theoryé speak of revenues of over $100 million in American cinemas, against a reported $38 million budget.
A possible success could also pave the way for Depp’s return to the series “Pirries of the Caribbean.” Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has announced that the series is coming back, leaving open the possibility of actor involvement.
In the meantime, Depp is also expected to appear in the trumpet film Day Drinker, which plays alongside actress Penelope Cruz.
