During this time, Depp became known for his work with director Tim Burton, collaborating on eight films together, starting with Edward Scissorhands (1990), followed by Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Corpse Bride (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and Dark Shadows (2012).
Depp gained worldwide stardom for his role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series (2003–2017).

Depp was married to the actress Amber Heard from 2015 to 2017. Afterward, the pair accused each other of domestic abuse and engaged in two lengthy and high-profile defamation cases. In the English Depp v News Group Newspapers Ltd (2020), the High Court of Justice ruled that Depp engaged in domestic abuse against Heard, while in the American Depp v. Heard (2022), the Fairfax Circuit Court ruled that Heard had defamed Depp. The highly publicized case sparked widespread debate on defamation, domestic abuse, and male victims of domestic violence.
