Johnny Depp Stars in New Film Day Drinker

Johnny Depp is making a significant Hollywood comeback with his first major film role in over five years, starring alongside Penélope Cruz in 'Day Drinker,' an action thriller directed by Marc Webb. This project marks Depp's return to the big screen after a tumultuous period following his highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, which concluded with her agreeing to pay him $1 million for defamation. The film's plot revolves around a cruise ship bartender and a mysterious day-drinker who become embroiled in a criminal underworld. This collaboration with Cruz is their fourth, following successful projects like 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Blow.' As Depp's reputation begins to rebuild, his involvement in 'Day Drinker' signifies Hollywood's renewed confidence in him as a leading star. The film is being produced by Lionsgate, alongside notable producers known for the 'John Wick' franchise, although no release date has been announced yet.
