Johnny Depp To Star As Pancho Villa

According to Variety, there's a chance that we may hear Johnny Depp speaking in Spanish very soon. The hearthrob is said to be in talks to play the iconic Pancho Villa in a movie titled "Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers."

The Spanish-language biopic is to be shot partly in Mexico, where Villa -- an early 20th-century bandit who became a guerilla fighter and a hero to the poor -- is an iconic historical figure. Depp will act in Spanish, Kusturica said.

It's also being said that Salma Hayek is in "advanced talks" to star in the film. Johnny previously worked with director Emir Kusturica when he starred in 'Arizona Dream' back in 1993.

I'm just shocked over how many movies he's attached to! I don't think there's any rep confirmation just yet but check this list out!
