Johnny Depp will play Satan in a forthcoming comedy film entitled The Carnival at the End of Days.
Directed by Terry Gilliam, the film will also star Jeff Bridges as an unconventional version of God depicted as nature itself, along with Adam Driver and Jason Momoa in undisclosed roles.
The plot revolves around God (Bridges) wanting to destroy humanity for ruining the Earth, but Satan (Depp) comes to their aid as he would be jobless without them.
A scene involving God will feature at least fifteen animals, necessitating animation to bring it to life realistically.
Gilliam previously directed Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" Depp also appeared in the documentary Lost in La Mancha about Gilliam's long-gestating project The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, which was finally completed in 2018 with Adam Driver and Jeff Bridges.
Filming for The Carnival at the End of Days is expected to begin in January 2025, and Gilliam has said the movie will be very funny, especially for those who like to get offended.
Jeff Bridges provided a health update, stating that he's doing well after his cancer diagnosis and remission, and Johnny Depp won a defamation case against Amber Heard and criticized Hollywood for the repercussions he faced since 2018.
