Johnny Depp's comeback movie is ‘brilliant move’ but Hollywood future ‘uncertain’: expert

Johnny Depp is back on the big screen after emerging victorious in his explosive court battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard. The 60-year-old actor is starring opposite French actress and director Maïwenn in the new French-language period romance 'Jeanne du Barry,' which premiered on Thursday. The film's limited theatrical run ends on Monday, but the movie will be available to stream on Apple TV+ at a future date.

All the dialogue in 'Madame Du Barry' is in French with English subtitles. Depp learned to speak French during his 14-year relationship with French actress Vanessa Paradis, with whom he shares two children. Though the 'Edward Scissorhands' star received second billing in the movie, the story's central focus is on Maïwenn's character, while Depp appears as a supporting actor.

When I made a remark about Johnny being ‘scary,’ I was talking about his charisma, his notoriety, his star status, etc,' Maïwenn wrote. 'I would like to make things very clear: Johnny is ‘scary’ in the sense that his charisma and his status as 'king' is impressive,' she continued. 'I should have used the word ‘impressive’ if I had known would use my words in such a malicious way.
