Margot Robbie is in talks to permanently replace Johnny Depp in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, with the latter unlikely to return “at this point”.Depp is currently suing his ex-wife for defamation over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, where she wrote about being a survivor of domestic violence.Heard didn’t mention Depp by name in the piece, though his lawyers argue it falsely implies she was sexually and physically abused by him in their marriage. She has also filed a counterclaim against her former husband, arguing he has created a smear campaign against her.Speaking to The Sunday Times’ Culture magazine (per Metro), Bruckheimer was asked if Depp was expected to return to the films.
