Actor Johnny Depp could have earned $22.5 million for the sixth part of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, his agent has said during a testimony.
Jack Whigham was speaking during the defamation trial of Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard when he made the statement.
The sixth movie of the franchise was scrapped by its studio Disney after Amber, in an op-ed published in Washington Post accused Depp of domestic violence.
