Jeanne du Barry is Depp's first movie role in over three years. His last film, Minamata, was shot in 2019. In the forthcoming film, Depp will play King Louis XV.
The film will be the first big project for the Hollywood star since he scored a $15 million judgment against his ex-wife Amber Heard in court.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Depp sued Heard accusing her of fabricating allegations of abuse. He said a 2019 Washington Post op-ed she wrote defamed him while writing about being the victim of domestic violence. The story never named him but he said the normal reader would believe it was him.
Depp testified in court that he never laid a hand on Heard during their troubled romance. He said she was the aggressor in their altercations.
Heard stood by her story throughout the trial and told the jury Depp had been violent with her. She said during one incident Depp sexually assaulted her with a vodka bottle. Depp denied the claim.
A jury ended up awarding Depp $15 million — $10 million in compensatory and $5 million in punitive. The case was fought in Virginia which only allows for $350,000 in punitive damages meaning Depp's judgment was reduced to $10.35 million.
Heard was also awarded $2 million on her counterclaim which brought Depp's judgment down to $8.35 million.
