10 Actors Who Could Ruin Upcoming Movies
6. Johnny Depp - Day Drinker
Day Drinker is a new action thriller from director Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man), and will star Johnny Depp as a mysterious day drinker who, along with a young private yacht bartender (Madelyn Cline), becomes entangled in a criminal underworld.
Day Drinker is clearly being mounted as something of a comeback vehicle for Depp, whose last major role in a Hollywood movie was Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald way back in 2018.
Between Depp's own declining commercial appeal and personal controversies - namely a messy legal battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard - it's simply possible that he ends up being more of a liability than a benefit to the film when it releases next year.
Even ignoring the baggage that Depp brings with him, there's the fact that he's tended towards a wackier, more off-the-wall acting style over the last 15-or-so years, and if he brings the same mumbly, restless shtick to Day Drinker, it could simply be offputting to many who might otherwise be interested.
