Johnny Depp returns to the screen with a short film for Sea of Dawn, a new mobile game. The Pirates of the Caribbean star was once one of Hollywood’s most commercially successful actors and has a long list of blockbuster films to name her. In addition to playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the Disney Pirates franchise, Depp is known for starring in blockbuster films such as Alice in Wonderland and Fantastic Beasts. However, Depp’s reputation has suffered greatly in recent years.
In 2018, amid legal battles involving his ex-wife Amber Heard and his domestic abuse allegations against him, Warner Bros. asked Depp to step down from the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Subsequently, plans for him to make a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film were abandoned by Disney.
But now Depp has surprised fans with a new short film called “Adventurer’s Game” for the mobile game. Sea of Dawn. The short film was made by the Chinese game developer Mosasaur Studio and shared online by Superpixel. In the four-minute video, Depp plays the character of an eccentric maritime adventurer and pendant collector named Phillip Artoosh.
In the accompanying behind-the-scenes video, Depp reveals that he personally created the character himself and was deeply involved in the production of Sea of Dawn. Interestingly, the Artoosh character bears striking similarities to the actor’s most iconic role. Fans will note that the confused speech, heavy makeup, and peculiar costume are all apparent references to Captain Jack Sparrow.
