PopTopic noted that the deal could be worth $301 million, which in itself was a clue that it may not be real. The publication credited an anonymous source with breaking the story.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisney is very interested in patching up their relationship with Johnny Depp,\u201d the source allegedly told the outlet. \u201cThey are very hopeful that Johnny will forgive them and return as his iconic character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely that the rumored offer, $301 million, came from a comment Depp made during testimony for his highly publicized defamation case against ex Amber Heard. While expressing his anger with Disney for firing him from \u2018Pirates\u2019 without proof of wrongdoing, the actor \u201ctestified under oath that he would not take another \u2018Pirates of the Caribbean\u2019 franchise role for $300 million and a million alpacas,\u201d The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/johnny-depp-cracks-up-when-disney-exec-gets-asked-about-one-million-alpacas-for-reprising-pirates-of-the-caribbean-role\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Depp and his lawyer were seen laughing together when Heard\u2019s lawyer referenced the comments during the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, it doesn\u2019t appear that the animosity goes both ways. \u201cPirates\u201d producer Jerry Bruckheimer did not rule out Depp\u2019s return, seemingly leaving the door open to strike a deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot at this point,\u201d the Hollywood exec said when asked about Depp reprising his role last month. \u201cThe future is yet to be decided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It would probably take more than $300 million and a bunch of alpacas to soothe Depp\u2019s hurt ego, though. He previously expressed anger over being dropped by the studio after Heard\u2019s abuse claims went public.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaptain Jack Sparrow was a character I built from the ground up and was something that I, of course, put a lot of [myself] into the character and also having worked on these films with these people and added much of myself, much of my own re-writing of the dialogue and scenes and jokes,\u201d he said, per Movieweb.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t quite understand how, after that long relationship and quite a successful relationship certainly for Disney, that suddenly I was guilty until proven innocent,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">(Disclosure: The Daily Wire has\u00a0<\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/videos\/introducing-dw-kids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">announced<\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0plans for kids\u2019 entertainment content.)<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans knew it was too good to be true.
