Since 1990, Johnny Depp has starred in eight movies directed by Tim Burton.

The last time was 2012’s Dark Shadows, although the filmmaker did produce 2016’s Alice Through the Looking Glass.

The Hollywood star has since been through a lot, having been dropped by Disney after the 2018 domestic abuse allegations by his ex-wife, which he strongly denies.

Yet after winning his libel case against Amber Heard in 2022, Depp has been slowly but surely making a comeback.

His first new Hollywood blockbuster for years will be Lionsgate’s Day Drinker with Penelope Cruz, but what about working with Burton once again?

Speaking with Indie Wire on the red carpet of the Marrakech International Film Festival, Burton ruled out Edwards Scissorhands 2 but is hopeful to work with Depp again.

He said: “Well, I’m sure there will be [another collaboration between us]. I never feel like, oh, I’m going to use this and that actor. It usually has to be based on the project I’m working on. That’s what film is all about. It’s collaboration and bouncing ideas off the people around you.”
