Actor Johnny Depp expresses readiness for another film project.
The world of pirates might be setting sail once again, as producer Jerry Bruckheimer has hinted at a potential reboot of the popular "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. However, it's important to note that the project is still in its early stages, with the script yet to be finalised [1][6].
Bruckheimer, who has been instrumental in the success of the franchise, has revealed that he has spoken to Johnny Depp about a potential comeback for the iconic character, Captain Jack Sparrow [2]. Bruckheimer expressed his desire to bring Depp back, but stressed that they need the right script for the reboot to work [3].
Depp's portrayal of Jack Sparrow was not initially part of the original script. Instead, he brought a unique blend of Pepe Le Pew and Keith Richards to the role, which has become synonymous with the franchise [5].
Rumours and speculations about a "Pirates of the Caribbean" reboot have been circulating since at least 2019 [4]. While fans have been eagerly awaiting news, it's crucial to remember that these are just rumours for now, and no official plans have been announced.
Amidst the uncertainty, fans have entertained the idea of new actors taking over the role of Jack Sparrow, with Keanu Reeves being a popular choice [4]. However, these are purely speculative concepts and not official plans for the franchise.
Johnny Depp's first major Hollywood project since his legal dispute with Amber Heard is the film "Day Drinker", expected to be released in 2026. The actor's potential return to the big screen as Captain Jack Sparrow remains conditional on his liking of the role as written [1][3].
It's worth noting that Johnny Depp has not publicly confirmed his interest in a potential "Pirates of the Caribbean" comeback. Bruckheimer, who considers Depp a good friend and a great artist, made his comments about the potential reboot in an interview with Entertainment Weekly [7].
As we wait for more updates on the potential "Pirates of the Caribbean" reboot, Johnny Depp is set to celebrate his Hollywood comeback with the upcoming film "Day Drinker". In the years following his legal trial, Depp appeared in the French film "Jeanne du Barry" and directed "Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness", but had not yet returned to the big Hollywood stage.
