One prediction market prices this story:

  • Johnny Depp — the market puts it at 62%, with $57 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2035. The market resolves to Yes if Johnny Depp is cast in a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie before January 1, 2035. It resolves to No if he is not cast by that date. Readers often mistake the release of any other film, such as 'Day Drinker,' for a resolution.
