The actor has earned close to $350 million from the Disney franchise, according to the source, making him the highest-paid actor in recent Hollywood history.Over the July 4th weekend ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ broke the $1 Billion mark. Johnny Depp is now close to a deal to star in a fifth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie.Depp has made as much as $350 million so far from playing the worlds favorite swashbuckler. With the departure of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley from the series prior to the fourth film, Depps character, Jack Sparrow, is seemingly essential to the continuation of the franchise. No doubt, Disney will do whatever they have to, to get Captain Sparrow back on the high seas sooner or later
