Johnny Depp is known for his collaborations with Tim Burton, as well as various hit movies he’s been in over the years. The 63 year-old has been out of Hollywood for a few years now, following his divorce from Amber Heard and their messy legal battle that reached its conclusion with its 2022 verdict. While he’s taken on a few acting projects, he’ll be getting his Hollywood return as the title character of Ti West’s Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol. And he recently shared the first public look at him in the upcoming book to screen adaptation.
While the first look of Depp as Scrooge came at CinemaCon, only those lucky enough to attend that event were able to feast their eyes upon it. But a poster just arrived on Instagram, showing what the top of half of Depp’s face will look like as Ebenezer himself. Check it out below:
Now that’s a humbug if I’ve ever seen one. While Depp will have to live up to the various Scrooges that have occupied the big screen over the years, the top of his head certainly looks the part in this poster. We’ll just have to wait and see if his take on the character can live up to others like Michael Caine’s legendary performance in The Muppet Christmas Carol (streaming with a Disney+ subscription).
More to come…
