ET Canada pointed out that the tip was "enough clues" that Depp and Burton are reuniting. Amber Heard's ex-husband has starred in several of Burton's movies, including Edward Scissorhands and Sleep Hallow.

The outlet added that the lack of photos of Uncle Fester in Netflix's press materials could be an indication that the rumor had a foundation. Also, IMDb doesn't even list the character in the credits.

"OMG I have a strong feeling that Uncle Fester will be played by Johnny Depp! & maybe the reason they had to keep it a secret is because his role depended on the outcome of the trial?! Eeeek," another suggested.

"Johnny Depp is apparently Uncle Fester... another Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collab?!? We LOVE to see it," another user wrote.

However, some are not convinced that Depp will appear on Wednesday as Uncle Fletcher. Others are hoping he will have a project with Burton again.
