The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise may see a major return in its upcoming sixth installment as producer Jerry Bruckheimer expresses his desire to bring back Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. This news comes after several months of speculation about the possibility of Depp’s return to the franchise, following his controversial exit in 2018.
Sources suggest that Bruckheimer has been in talks with Disney, the production company behind the franchise, about the possibility of bringing back Depp. While Disney has not issued an official statement, rumors suggest that they may be open to the idea.
Depp’s exit from the franchise was surrounded by controversy, with allegations of domestic abuse from his ex-wife Amber Heard playing a significant role. Despite Depp’s denial of these allegations and a defamation lawsuit against Heard, Disney decided to part ways with the actor and announced plans to reboot the franchise without him.
Fans of the franchise were disappointed by this decision, as Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow had become a major part of the franchise’s success. However, with Bruckheimer’s recent comments, there is renewed hope that Depp may return to the iconic role.
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide, making it one of the most successful film franchises of all time. Bringing back Depp could potentially give the franchise a much-needed boost, especially since the fifth installment, Dead Men Tell No Tales, did not perform as well as previous films.
It’s worth noting that there has been no official confirmation regarding Depp’s return to the franchise. Nevertheless, Bruckheimer’s efforts to bring back the actor and the support of fans may make this possibility a reality.
As fans eagerly await more news about the upcoming film, the potential return of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow has created a buzz of excitement for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Only time will tell if Depp will indeed make his return, but with Bruckheimer’s push and the fans’ excitement, the chances are looking good
