The D23 Expo began today out in Anaheim, California, and one of the most anticipated events was the Disney Legends presentation. Well, there was a whole host of great names being inducted and a huge surprise introduced by Bob Iger….none other than Johnny Depp.
The Disney Legends ceremony began the weekend festivities as usual, and the great names were already enough for any attendee. It was the end of the ceremony that truly was amazing though as the surprise shocked everyone.
Bob Iger stepped out on stage and gave a quick little speech before saying “there’s nothing that D23 fans like more than a good surprise.” A short video of Depp aired showing him as Captain Jack Sparrow and in many other roles.
Johnny Depp then hit the stage, gave a short speech, and thrilled the crowd.
The other honorees for the Disney Legends ceremony this year were:
- George Lucas
- Andreas Deja
- Eyvind Earle
- Danny Elfman
- George Bodenheimer
- Susan Lucci
- Carson Van Osten
- Julie Reihm Casaletto
It was a great class of Disney Legends at the D23 Expo 2015, and it was topped off with the surprise induction of Johnny Depp.
Other news coming out of D23 Expo so far is the plot for Toy Story 4 and some movie posters for a number of other new Disney films coming in the future.
