Johnny Depp is set to return in My Wife’s Untitled project, which stars him as King Louis XV. Amber Heard, who previously claimed that Hollywood had boycotted him, has been reportedly working on the project. Depp is portrayed by Jean du Berry and will play Louis XV’s mistress.
The project is set to wrap in just a few days. French journalist Bernard Montiel revealed that there was tension between Depp and Amber during the shoot of Le Favorites. Fans believe this is propaganda aiming to sabotage the movie even before its official release. The director offered the role of Louis 15 to Depp in his new historical film, Jean Dewberry, which will stream on Netflix. Depp’s Minamata, released in the U.S. by MGM Samuel Goldman films in December 2021, faced controversies and was delayed for months. The studio blamed the absurdity of media mathematics for the downfall of Depp’s career. Depp’s popularity in Europe has not been affected by the controversy, as he received recognition from Spain’s San Sebastian International Film Festival and a Carlo V award.
