Johnny Depp is convinced: Hollywood doesn't want him anymore.

In a brand new interview for The

Sunday Times

, his first since losing his libel case against

The Sun

newspaper

last November, the actor made a very clear connection between his legal situation (which he did not the right to speak directly) and the fate that has been reserved for him in the film industry for several months.

The star is especially worried about the release of

Minamata

, a film which is dear to him and in which he plays the photojournalist Eugene Smith, who revealed to the general public in the 70s the mercury poisoning of an entire village in Japan.

“Some films touch people.

And this situation affects those in Minamata and people who go through similar things.

And all that for what… for the boycott of Hollywood towards me?

A man, an actor in an unpleasant and messy situation in recent years?

», He was alarmed.

Shed all the light

In an open letter last month, the director of

Minamata

had said that MGM had decided to "bury" the release of the film, that is to say not to promote it, because of the situation of Johnny Depp.

The studio subsequently defended itself, but for the moment, no release date has been announced in the United States, and the actor is now thinking of the families of the victims of Minamata.

“We looked these people in the eye and promised them that we would not exploit their history.

That the film would be respectful.

I think we have respected our end of the bargain, but those who arrived later must do so in turn, ”he said.

In the interview, Johnny Depp also implies that he intends not to stop there.

"In any case, I am moving in the direction where I must go to be able to shed all the light on that", confided the actor, without giving more details.

The star of

Edward with the Silver Hands

must in any case soon leave for the festival of San Sebastián, where he will receive the Donostia honorary prize for the whole of his career.
