Depp’s possible appearance would come just a few months after he won his highly publicized defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

A Virginia jury found that Heard, 36, defamed Depp in a 2018 Washington Post opinion piece about sexual violence and ordered her to pay him USD 15 million. Depp’s career has gradually bounced back. He is also expected to direct a film about Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani and produce the movie alongside Al Pacino and Barry Navidi. Johnny Depp’s First Look as King Louis XV From Jeanne Du Barry’s French Film Unveiled!
