All hail “Avengers: Infinity War.” Last night the blockbuster comic book movie broke the $500 million mark in the US after just two weeks.

“Infinity War” is now the third Marvel movie in the all time top 10. The others are “Black Panther” and the original 2012 “Avengers” debut.

The balance of the top 10 include four movies associated with Steven Spielberg or George Lucas, plus “The Dark Knight,” “Titanic” and “Avatar.”

The last two movies on the top 500, by the way, are “Wayne’s World” and “The Bourne Identity.”

Johnny Depp is notably in a lot of trouble. He’s in debt, he’s being sued by lawyers and creditors, he’s a mess.

As well, Depp — other than the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series — hasn’t had a hit in years. His movies are routinely panned, along with his performances.

These include things like “Mortdecai,” “The Lone Ranger,” “Black Mask,” and so on. He was part of the ensemble in “Murder on the Orient Express,” and was terrible.

Now he’s hired by Dior to promote a fragrance called “Sauvage.” Or maybe “Sausage.” I don’t know. Anyway, in what is otherwise a puff piece masquerading as advertorial, Depp reveals what’s gone wrong. He tells glossy throw away Manhattan magazine, maybe by accident: “Years and years ago, I stopped reading screen direction. When you read a script the first time, you read the dialogues and the directions to see what the film is as a whole. After that first time, I never read screen direction again. I don’t want to know what I am supposed to do or where I am supposed to be because it should just happen. It allows more freedom.”

So that’s it. Explains a lot. Depp has a complete disregard for everyone else on the movie, how it was written, why it was written, etc. Filmmakers should remember this in the future.

One Depp movie we won’t see for a while: “London Fields,” based on Martin Amis’s novel, apparently so bad that everyone involved has gone to court over it.

Annette Bening is already pretty Marvel-ous. The multiple Oscar nominee is now starring in Michael Mayer’s very accessible and commercially tipped film adaptation of “The Seagull” along with an all star cast that includes Saorise Ronan and Elisabeth Moss, as well as Brian Dennehy, Corey Stoll, Mare Winningham and one of my favorite actors from “Billions,” Glenn Fleshler.

At last night’s premiere of “The Seagull,” Annette was happy to see lots of friends and well wishers including the great Patti Smith, John Cameron Mitchell, newly engaged Tony winner Nikki James, and Tony winner Lena Hall, plus famed writer Patricia Bosworth and A.M. Homes. All of them converged on Lincoln restaurant in Lincoln Center.

And while Annette is super (I’m not getting into awards-worthy, because she always is) in “The Seagull,” there was some talk of her next venture– joining the Marvel Universe in the upcoming “Captain Marvel.” Is it true? Can it be?

“It is,” Bening told me. “But I can’t say a word. I signed an NDA. I’m just like Stormy Daniels!”

Does she have any super powers?

“I can’t even tell you that! I can’t say a word. You know how they are!”

Alas, we do.

“The Seagull” opens this weekend. And let we fear about those awards, Oscars, etc, Annette stars this fall in one of the most anticipated movies of the year, Dan Fogelman’s “Life Itself,” from the creator of “This is Us.” So hold on.
