If this trailer is anything to go by, then yes he can. Because Black Mass looks set to bring Johnny Depp back to the good side, in a film where he treads the line between good and bad. Starring alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Kevin Bacon and Joel Edgerton, Depp stars as Whitey Bulger, the brother of a state senator and a violent criminal who becomes an FBI informant after a Mafia family invade his neighbourhood.
With a collection of stars, and Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper at the helm of this film, there is definitely faith for the film. Could it give Depp the much needed acclaim he deserves?
Black Mass is out September 18th.
