Johnny Depp returns to film in Ebenezer premiere
Johnny Depp stars as Scrooge in Ebenezer, a dark fantasy adaptation of A Christmas Carol, his first live-action film since 2023.
After being at the heart of two public trials relating to ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp largely stayed out of the limelight. The film premiered in London on Monday.
Speaking at the premiere, Depp said fans who supported him "through thick and thin" have his deep gratitude. Depp plays the cold-hearted miser Scrooge, who meets ghosts of his past, present and future.
The cast includes Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, The Hunger Games actor Sam Claflin, and Severance star Tramell Tillman. Ti West directed the film.
