Are audiences ready for the return of Johnny Depp?

The controversial actor is playing his first lead role in three years in “Jeanne du Barry," which opened Cannes Film Festival Tuesday. The movie, which stars Depp as King Louis XV and French actress Maïwenn as the king's mistress, reportedly received a seven-minute standing ovation, and festival attendees are talking about the film's tense news conference Wednesday, to which Depp arrived late.

The star's comeback is taking place nearly a year after Depp's explosive defamation lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard garnered widespread interest. After both Depp and Heard accused each other of physical and verbal abuse, a civil jury awarded $10 million in damages to Depp and $2 million to Heard − a win for Depp, and a partial win for Heard.
