Johnny Depp's recent public drama has led to him being essentially blacklisted from the industry, with a studio head saying he's a liability.




Johnny Depp has essentially been blacklisted in the industry, with one studio head saying that studios can't work with the actor anymore. Depp's reputation has been in free fall since 2016, when his ex-wife Amber Heard came forward with allegations of emotional and physical abuse. Still, studios continued to work with him - until very recently, he was still slated to appear in Fantastic Beasts 3 before being fired in a very public spectacle.

Depp's firing represents a shift in the star's power. Depp was a huge box office draw until very recently, and the actor almost always came with an exorbitantly high salary. 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros.' decision to continue working with him on Murder on the Orient Express and Fantastic Beasts, respectively, caused some controversy. With the actor being fired from the latter and the former being a distant memory, it seems Depp's star power is officially waning.


A new, in-depth article from THR details Depp's fall from grace, indicating that to work with him now is a liability. The report has one studio head purporting that "you simply can't work with him now" because "he's radioactive." That quote represents a significant shift for the star that was once a Hollywood powerhouse. The Sun's recent verdict against him in a defamation case in the UK was one of the defining factors in the current switch in feelings towards Depp.



J.K. Rowling, once of the actor's most prominent proponents, didn't argue against the star's firing from the Fantastic Beasts franchise in which Depp was supposed to star in three more films. Depp's downfall has been contentious, with many of the megastar's fans rallying around the actor and firing back at Heard. A fan petition to remove the actress from Aquaman 2 has over 1.5 million signatures, showing how Depp's fans are willing to ignore the damning information. It's also been reported Depp attempted to get her removed from the film, a move that underscores Depp's toxic behavior towards the actress in their years-long court battles.

Depp's fall is notable, not only for its messiness but for the scale. Johnny Depp was once one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, his presence making any film a guaranteed box office success. Since 2016, though, the actor's presence has become more and more of a liability, and his defamation case with The Sun exemplifies that. Court records have brought to light the actor's volatility, with reports indicating that Depp will be paid his full salary for his exit from Fantastic Beasts 3. It seems as if Warner Bros. was willing to fork out a considerable amount to get him off their payroll.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
