Fans are not happy with this play from Disney for using Johnny Depp’s face
As the petition from fans to reinstate Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘ reaches nearly 1 million signatures, fans are fuming over Disney’s latest antics. Although they decided to distance themselves quickly when accusations from Amber Heard became public, they are taking quite a long time to apologize to the actor.
The American Justice system ruled in Johnny Depp’s favor during the trial against Amber Heard, she is supposed to pay him $13 million in damages but the actress has been parading herself as a celebrity who doesn’t have the money to pay. Johnny has repeatedly stated that his intention to to to trial was to clear his name and recover his reputation.
What did Disney do against Johnny Depp?
Over the weekend, Disney has been displaying a light show at Disneyland Paris of the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise. They show many of the characters faces and also showed Johnny Depp’s face as the Jack Sparrow character. In the video shared on Twitter, people go crazy as soon as they see his face on the Disney castle.
Fans of the actor didn’t react well to this decision from Disneyland Paris, they want the company to first apologize for dragging his name through the mud. After that, they need to talk to Johnny about making a triumphant return with all the money that entails.
Can Disney recover their relationship with Johnny Depp?
As one of the most beloved characters in Disney’s history, Captain Jack Sparrow was perfectly portrayed by Johnny Depp throughout the better part of two decades. The actor did reveal he felt betrayed by Disney when they fired him from the franchise after so many years of service. If Disney is trying to get him to return, showing his face around their parks without his permission is definitely not the way to do it.
We will definitely be hearing from Depp’s legal team approaching Disney over this, they have all the right to complain about it and even ask for some sort of compensation. However, Johnny Depp fans remain hopeful that both sides will reach an agreement and we can have Captain Jack Sparrow back on the big screen.
