Johnny Depp 'wanted for role' opposite Avengers Endgame actor for Warner Bros
Over the past year, Johnny Depp has met a lot of issues. His ex-wife, Amber Heard, testified against the Pirates of the Caribbean actor during a lawsuit against a British newspaper over “wife-beater” claims. Shortly after this lawsuit began, Depp was asked to step down from the Harry Potter series Fantastic Beasts. Further rumours suggested the Hollywood star had been dropped from his Disney role of Jack Sparrow.
With no film roles on the horizon, Depp has a lot of work ahead of him if he is going to return to the big screen.
According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, the actor’s luck may have just changed.
The noted leaker recently suggested Depp is being eyed for the next Sherlock Holmes film project by Robert Downey Jr.
The Avengers Endgame actor has played the titular character in the first two Sherlock Holmes movies thus far and is reportedly now working on the third film in the series.
