Johnny Depp is showing off a new look for his upcoming film, Day Drinker .
In the teaser for the Marc Webb-directed movie posted on YouTube on Thursday, September 24, Depp, 63, plays a mysterious passenger named Kelly with a penchant for bad behavior. After boarding a high-end private yacht, he forms an unlikely bond with bartender Lorna, played by Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline . The pair soon find their lives intertwining in unexpected ways as a criminal figure, played by Penélope Cruz , enters the picture.
“You thought I was [expletive] done?” Depp, as Kelly, asks in the clip for the action-packed supernatural thriller. “I’m done when I say I’m done.”
The film, which is a departure from the more whimsical roles Depp has taken on, sees the Oscar-nominated actor nearly unrecognizable in the teaser, sporting a scruffy, gray beard and unkempt long hair, which he wears tied back. Complete with an Irish accent, Deep even trades his dark brown eyes for icy blue contacts, crafting a look that is far from the bohemian, rock-and-roll grunge aesthetic he’s become known for over the years.
Marking one of Depp’s first major movie roles in years, the Lionsgate-produced project, which is due out March 26, 2027, comes after a turbulent few years for the Pirates of the Caribbean alum, following his highly publicized defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard .
As In Touch previously reported, following a weeks-long trial, a jury found that Heard, 40, had defamed her ex-husband in a Washington Post op-ed about domestic violence, though she did not name Depp in the piece. Both sides filed appeals, with the case officially coming to an end in late 2022 after the pair reached a settlement.
Following the trial, Depp starred in a few European-backed productions, including the 2023 French period drama Jeanne du Barry and directing the 2024 Italian drama Modì: Three Days on the Wing of Madness .
Day Drinker will serve as Depp’s second film in his return to American cinema, following the upcoming A Christmas Carol adaptation, Ebenezer , in which Depp takes on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge.
Fully transforming into the Christmas-hating character, the film, which is largely being considered the actor’s Hollywood comeback , is set to hit theaters on November 13.
