Johnny Depp Set To Make His Hollywood Comeback In Day Drinker Opposite Penélope Cruz After 2022 Amber Heard Defamation Trial

As a die-hard Johnny Depp fan who has followed his extraordinary career from the very beginning, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement as I hear about his upcoming comeback with “Day Drinker.” This man is not just an actor; he’s a chameleon who effortlessly transforms himself into each character he portrays. His collaboration with Penélope Cruz once again promises to be a magical on-screen chemistry that only they can deliver.


Johnny Depp is poised to return prominently to Hollywood with “Day Drinker,” an exciting drama in which he reunites with frequent collaborator Penélope Cruz on screen. This marks Depp’s first significant studio role since the court case involving claims made by his former spouse, Amber Heard, in 2022. Beginning this week, Lionsgate will initiate international sales for the film, which is directed by Marc Webb.

In a well-known libel lawsuit between him and Heard, over half of the jurors supported Depp by the trial’s end. In early 2022, the actress from Aquaman agreed to pay Depp $1 million as part of a settlement. The entire court case received significant media attention and was broadcasted on television.

In the upcoming studio movie titled Day Drinker, Johnny Depp takes on a role as a bartender aboard a cruise ship. Unanticipated events lead him to cross paths with a mysterious character, pulling him into the dark underworld of crime. Lionsgate, who previously collaborated with Depp in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018), has assembled an impressive production team for this project, expressing confidence in its potential due to the captivating plot. The crew also includes Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, known for their work on the John Wick franchise.

In his latest position, he is back in Hollywood following a string of movies backed by European funds, such as the French drama “Jeanne du Barry” released last year and his own directorial effort “Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness,” which had its debut at the Rome Film Festival.

As a connoisseur of life’s rich tapestry, I’ve had the privilege of observing the bond between two remarkable artists – Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz. Over the years, they have graced our screens together in films such as Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Murder on the Orient Express.

In the continuation of their collaboration, Lionsgate and 30WEST have taken on the role of executive producers for the upcoming film, which is referred to as Day Drinker.
