I know Hollywood is its own thing, but it's so strange to see a movie advertising Depp in it. He seems impossible to work with and after the whole trial I can't imagine it being great for audience good will. Is there really no other actor they could have gone with?

That's not at all the impression I got from the trial.
He seemed more or less exonerated of every accusation. It proved she outright lied about or exaggerated everything. They certainly had a toxic relationship, largely fueled by her issues. He didn't always handle it well, but she seemed the primary instigator in virtually every altercation.

That’s the US trial. A previous UK trial found that a newspaper labelling him a “wife-beater” was not libellous as claims of domestic abuse were “substantially true”

Both of them seem a fuck short, regardless of which trial you followed. I think they’re best apart.
