Tim Burton, who frequently collaborated with Johnny Depp on films such as Edward Scissorhands, explains why he would work with the actor again: 'If the right thing was around, sure...'
Despite Johnny Depp's recent controversies, Wednesday director Tim Burton says he's willing to work with Depp again. Burton, who is currently promoting his upcoming Addams Family-inspired series for Netflix, began his filmmaking career as an animator for Disney. Burton's works, which range from the horror-comedy Beetlejuice to the biographical drama Ed Wood, are known for his dark whimsical style.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Although he was once the lead star in Disney's popular Pirates of the Caribbean series, Depp's career has become embroiled in controversies in recent years. Perhaps most notably, the actor was involved in a highly publicized defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard, after she alleged that Depp was verbally and physically abusive during their relationship.
"If the right thing was around, sure... I think with anybody, you just, I never work with anybody even with my friends, it's not like a party so I always would like to try it with him or anybody to kind of go; what is the part? What is the thing? And then is it the right thing, is it the right character? I take things on those basis and no others."
Can Johnny Depp Make A Comeback? Although Burton is willing to cast Depp again, the actor has appeared in few roles since the defamation trial began, and even well before that. Depp's reputation has certainly faced serious setbacks in recent years, and with the sharp drop in acting roles Depp has received, it currently seems unlikely that he can ever reach the widespread popularity he once held.
Still, despite such controversy, Depp still has a dedicated fanbase and many supporters. In addition to Burton, Mads Mikkelsen, who replaced Depp in the third Fantastic Beasts film, said he would support Depp's return to the Fantastic Beasts franchise if it happened. Depp will also be appearing in the Savage X Fenty fashion show which will be available to stream on Prime Video on November 9.
