The actor is set to return to the screen after the dramatic trial.
The trial with Amber Heard had a big knock-on effect on the career of Johnny Depp who saw a number of movie projects be taken away from him after he was accused of abuse by his former partner.
He managed to prove his innocence and won the trial, meaning his fans will soon see him back on the big screen in a new film, Marca reports.
One of the big titles he will star in will be ‘Jeanne du Barry’. With this historical drama Depp will return to Hollywood, where he has not made a film since ‘Minamata’ which was shot in 2019 but was released in 2021.
This new project for the Pirates of the Caribbean star is about the story of a mistress of King Louis XV of France, to whom he will play.
We have already been able to see the first images of the actor playing the royal character thanks to the French magazine Premiere.
About ‘Jeanne du Barry’
‘Jeanne du Barry’ is the name of one of the mistresses of the French king and the film tells the story of how this woman struggles to climb the social ladder.
From poverty she comes to Paris where she tries to seduce Louis XV, and to charm him she pretends to be a noblewoman.
In the end she gets the monarch to take her to court and give her a house of her own. But the relationship between the two comes to light and becomes a scandal.
The movie is directed by director Maiwenn Le Besco and it will arrive in 2023.
Right now it is not known what the exact release date is, nor if it will be released in theaters or only on streaming platforms.
