Johnny Depp is stepping into a new role in the upcoming Marc Webb film Day Drinker, where he looks strikingly different from his iconic portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow. A newly released first look shows Depp with a stark gray appearance, signaling a departure from his usual roles.

Depp’s Transformation in *Day Drinker

In Day Drinker, Depp plays a “mysterious, onboard guest” aboard a private yacht, a character far removed from the swashbuckling pirate we’re accustomed to. The film, which marks Depp’s return to major Hollywood cinema, pairs him with his Pirates of the Caribbean and Blow co-star Penélope Cruz, who plays a criminal figure. Madelyn Cline also stars as a bartender who gets caught up in a web of intrigue with Depp’s character. The film’s plot promises unexpected twists as the characters find themselves connected in ways no one could predict.

Production Underway in Spain

Filming for Day Drinker has officially started in Spain. Marc Webb, who previously directed The Amazing Spider-Man, expressed excitement about working with such a talented cast and crew. “We’re in a beautiful location with a fantastic crew and a thrilling, ferocious story to tell. This is gonna be fun,” Webb said in a statement.
