Fourth collaboration brings Depp back to mainstream Hollywood

“Day Drinker,” directed by Marc Webb, marks Depp’s return to major studio productions since his last appearance in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald in 2018. The film features Depp as a mysterious yacht guest who becomes entangled with Cruz’s character, described as a criminal figure, alongside a bartender played by Madelyn Cline.

The first glimpse of Depp’s character was revealed in April, showing the three-time Oscar nominee holding a drink while gazing off-camera. The film also features performances from Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, and Anika Boyle.

This project adds to the growing list of collaborations between Depp and Cruz, following their work in Blow (2001), Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011), and Murder on the Orient Express (2017). Their professional relationship has extended beyond the screen, with Cruz previously offering for Depp during his legal proceedings.

Since his highly publicized defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp has maintained his presence in the film industry, starring in the French film Jeanne du Barry, which opened the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and directing Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. The actors were last seen together at the San Sebastian Film Festival, where Cruz shared a selfie of them during the premiere of Modi, which stars Al Pacino.
