Johnny Depp to Return as Mad Hatter in 'Alice in Wonderland' Sequel

Briefly: At the end of May, we learned that The Muppets director James Bobin (currently working on the sequel Muppets Most Wanted) was going to stick around Disney to be at the helm of the sequel to Tim Burton's successful 2010 adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Tentatively titled Into the Looking Glass, the film would continue Alice's adventures with Mia Wasikowskia reprising the title role and Linda Woolverton returning to write the film. Now Deadline has word that Johnny Depp is in final talks to reprise his role as Mad Hatter, and the news comes just as The Lone Ranger tanks at the box office. Though unsurprising, it's not a bad move to try and keep Depp's name from being stuck in the mud for too long.

Good. The symptoms he showed of insanity were extremely accurate, I dont know why critics gave him such low marks when he was so realistic. Most people dont know what good acting or good moviemaking means

The publics love obsession with Depp made the first one a terrible movie. I mean Christ, the movie posters had the mad hatter front and center and he wasn't even supposed to the main character. The focus was misplaced.

He was awesome as the mad hatter. However Depp needs some roles where he's not playing a quirky loon every once in awhile.

Meh, I wasn't crazy about that Alice in Wonderland movie I just don't think Johnny Depp is challenging his range of acting. He's a great actor no doubt but he's just been bland lately I want to see that passion back from him that's all. I still can't get that awful taste of "The Tourist" from my mouth, OY VEY!!!
