How does Johnny Depp keep getting hired?

Rating: 3/10 (4 November 2018)

It seems that if you see Depp in something, it is going to be directed by Tim Burton, and it's going to be bad.
I wonder if Burton hopes that Depp will come back into fashion, despite him not being any good.
I mean, it seemed for a minute that he might come back, as he was enjoyable as a secondary character in the first 3 pirates films (until the series got it wrong by making him the main character in the terrible fourth one that nobody liked).
Maybe Burton thinks if he keeps making films with the same visual style, and starring the same people, enough times that he might accidentally recapture Edward Scissorhands.
Having said that, Ed Wood was good, so maybe this approach worked. Once.
