Directed by Nestor F. Dennis and produced by Iervolino & Lady Bacardi Entertainment, the film draws inspiration from the popular Puffins series and follows the adventures of Johnny Puff. It has already secured international distribution deals ahead of its 2024 release. The film will be released in various countries including Germany, Korea, Spain, Portugal, the Middle East, and Turkey. Negotiations are also underway to secure a distributor for North America.
To give fans a glimpse of what to expect, new stills from the film featuring Johnny Depp’s character have been released, along with an exciting trailer. The film, a joint effort showcasing international talent, is produced by Cristobal Rodriguez and Nestor F. Dennis in collaboration with WWPS and Evolution from the United States.
While it remains uncertain whether Depp will return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer expresses hope of seeing the beloved actor reprise his role in some capacity. However, Vince Lozano, Depp’s former Pirates co-star, doubts the actor’s return to the high seas.
With Johnny Puff: Secret Mission, Johnny Depp aims to captivate audiences once again, this time through the animated world. Fans eagerly anticipate the release of the film as they rediscover the charm and versatility that have made Depp an enduring Hollywood star.
