Since winning the trial against Amber Heard, his ex-wife, in 2022, Johnny Depp had barely starred in any films. Now, the actor returns to Hollywood in a big way with ‘Ebenezer’, which has just released its first trailer from Paramount Pictures and is directed by Ti West, and is based on one of the greatest classics by writer Charles Dickens.
Thus, after four years, Depp returns to the industry in the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, a Christmas grump who is tormented by spirits that haunt him and make him relive the harsh reality of his past, which has led him to become a bad-tempered man who exudes hatred wherever he goes and spends his free time throwing snowballs at others.
In its first images, Depp himself sends a message to all his fans in which he shows that with ‘Ebenezer’ he intends to resume his career and leave his problems behind. “It’s good to be back,” says the actor in the role of Scrooge, in a clear allusion to his triumphant return to Hollywood.

In this way, the actor is trying to recover his status after having been fired from franchises such as ‘Fantastic Beasts’ and being unable to reprise his role as Grindelwald, as well as the fact that Disney flatly refused to admit that Captain Jack Sparrow should return to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’.
After Heard’s accusations against him, Depp had barely been seen in films such as ‘Minamatao’ or ‘Jeanne du Barry’. In addition to ‘Ebenezer’, the actor is also awaiting the release of the thriller ‘Day Drinker’, which he stars in alongside Madelyn Cline and Penélope Cruz.
In ‘Ebenezer’, Depp shares the screen with Andrea Riseborough, Tramell Tillman, Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint and Daisy Ridley. The film is scheduled to be released on November 13, 2026.
