And, it's been debunked:

In the defamation trial in the US, Johnny won.

However, in the defamation trial in the UK, where the burden of proof lies in the defendant (that would be the publisher) to show that the statement was true, Johnny lost.

Amazing how quickly this rumor took over the internet.

I suppose posts like this remain due to the leanings of the moderators. An incorrect and ridiculous definition to start, an insult to another poster embedded within, all wrapped around silly "might have" and "if then" gobblygook logic.

chosen screen name says it all.

Not worthy of a response. Thanks for the "hidden" insult though.

Too bad for fans. Although I'm not surprised. During the trial Rottenborn asked JD, "The fact is, Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a Pirates of the Caribbeanfilm? Correct?"

Depp replied, "That is true, Mr. Rottenborn."

I did some more digging. Turns out Disney is looking at getting someone on board, but there’s been some confusion due to the name.

The guy they were after is actually Johnny Derp. He’s rather young for the role too, but for the vast price that Disney was offering, they wanted him booked for at least twenty films. “He’ll age into it,” said the press agent.

Well this is embarrassing. Even more reports have muddied the waters.

Jerry Bruckheimer is also coproducing the upcoming Disney Plus series Pilates of the Caribbean. Market research shows that all that time fans spent sitting during the Depp trial means they will be flocking to enjoy some pirate-themed stretching. “Pilates, with it’s core-strength exercises, has been synonymous with adventure on the high seas,“ states the manager of the Bruckheimer Films office giftshop.

The way Johnny Depp blows through money he'll eventually need another source of income. Who's gonna pay him more than Disney?

It's almost as if Disney should have just kept their mouth shut until all the facts were known.

It would've been the reasonable thing to do. An accusation shouldn't be all it takes to destroy someone's life. Hopefully the tide is turning.

They’d have to give him MORE than 1 million alpacas and more than $300 million.

No way Ben Chew's Alpaca definitely counts as the first one so he only needs an even 1 million more

I don't get it, I've seen his acting. How is he worth more than just $300 is beyond me.

Because all along people have been saying that he is the next Marlon Brando. Don't know if it was acting style or that they were both nuts.
Regardless, I happen to agree with you. I just don't see it.

Jerry Bruckheimer and a rep for Johnny Depp have said this is strictly a rumor, no deal has been offered or made as of yet.

He sells lots and lots of tickets.

At this point he'd be in his 60s by the time they made another POtC movie. Do we really need geriatric Jack Sparrow? The previous few hadn't even been that good.
