After years of silence, Johnny Depp is officially back &mdash; and not with just one, but three major projects spanning genres, languages and even mediums. From action thrillers and historical dramas to biblical comedies and biopics, Depp&rsquo;s return is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and talked-about comebacks in modern cinema.
Here are the films leading Depp&rsquo;s full-fledged comeback:
&lsquo;Day Drinker&rsquo;: The Hollywood Comeback
In what many are calling Depp&rsquo;s official reentry into the spotlight, &lsquo;Day Drinker&rsquo; pairs him with Pen&eacute;lope Cruz and Madelyn Cline under the direction of Marc Webb. Depp plays a mysterious man named Kelly who arrives on a luxury yacht and disrupts the lives of those onboard &mdash; including Cruz&rsquo;s criminal character and Cline&rsquo;s conflicted bartender.
Filming began in April 2025 in Tenerife, Spain and early reports suggest this psychological thriller could mark a transformative moment in Depp&rsquo;s career.&nbsp;
&lsquo;Mod&igrave;&rsquo;: Behind the Camera Once Again
Depp returns to the director&rsquo;s chair after more than two decades with &lsquo;Mod&igrave;,&rsquo; a biographical drama about Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani. The film stars Riccardo Scamarcio, Al Pacino and Luisa Ranieri, and focuses on three chaotic days in the artist&rsquo;s life.
Premiering at the San Sebasti&aacute;n and Rome Film Festivals, &lsquo;Mod&igrave;&rsquo; is set for theatrical release in 2025. Critics are already praising Depp&rsquo;s visual storytelling and directorial maturity.
&lsquo;The Carnival at the End of Days&rsquo;
Production is expected to begin later this year in Albuquerque. The film is already generating buzz for its philosophical chaos, and powerhouse cast. For Depp, it&rsquo;s yet another opportunity to redefine villainy.
Jeanne du Barry: Where the Comeback Began
Depp&rsquo;s return to the screen began with &lsquo;Jeanne du Barry&rsquo; in 2023 &mdash; a French-language period film that premiered at Cannes and earned him a standing ovation. While not part of his 2025 slate, it marked the first step in a remarkable return to form.
A Risk Worth Taking
From a yacht-bound mystery man to Satan himself &mdash; and even stepping behind the camera &mdash; Johnny Depp&rsquo;s latest slate is a cinematic chance that&rsquo;s anything but safe. Depp isn&rsquo;t just returning to Hollywood; he&rsquo;s reinventing himself.
