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.
  • Disney has not officially approached Depp about returning, but insiders suggest the possibility remains open as the studio reassesses its strategy for the franchise.
