Disney Reportedly Exploring Johnny Depp's Return for Pirates of the Caribbean 6
The studio is said to be developing a script that could bring back Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, though no formal agreement has been reached.
- Johnny Depp's potential return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is reportedly contingent on overcoming past tensions with Disney following his removal in 2018.
- Disney is said to be developing two scripts for the next Pirates film, one of which could feature Depp reprising his role if he agrees to return.
- The actor's legal victory in the defamation trial against Amber Heard has reignited fan demand for his comeback as Captain Jack Sparrow.
- Depp's previous Pirates films grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide, making his return a potentially lucrative move for Disney's struggling box office performance in recent years.
