In a potential exciting turn of events, Johnny Depp, the 62-year-old actor renowned for his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow, might be returning to the high seas in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who has been associated with the series since its inception, has confirmed discussions with Depp about reprising his role. Bruckheimer shared this news in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, stating that there is a part written specifically for Depp in the new script[1][2][3].
The franchise's future had been uncertain following Depp's legal controversies, with Disney reportedly exploring a reboot featuring new cast members. However, Bruckheimer's recent statements suggest a shift towards including Depp once more, possibly alongside other original cast members[1][3][5].
Depp's upcoming film, Day Drinker, expected to be released in 2026, marks his first major Hollywood project since his legal battle with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in 2022. This film, along with his appearances in the French film Jeanne du Barry and the directing of Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness, have not yet seen him return to the big Hollywood stage[4].
Rumors and speculation about a Pirates of the Caribbean reboot have been circulating since at least 2019. Bruckheimer expressed his desire to see Depp reprise the role of Jack Sparrow in a potential reboot back in 2024[6].
It's important to note that no official casting decisions or script releases have been finalized yet. Depp himself has not publicly spoken about a Pirates of the Caribbean comeback. Nonetheless, the hints from Bruckheimer mark a significant development, signaling Depp’s potential comeback to the series[1][2][3].
The last film in the series was released nearly eight years ago, leaving fans eager for a return to the swashbuckling adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow. With the potential comeback of Depp, it seems that the Pirates might be sailing into calmer waters once more.
