Johnny Depp Is Open to Playing Jack Sparrow Again in a New Pirates of the Caribbean Movie
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Johnny Depp told Entertainment Tonight he would consider returning as Captain Jack Sparrow if the Pirates of the Caribbean saga is concluded on a stronger note. He said his only condition is that the story be “exactly where it needs to be” and that he would work with longtime producer Jerry Bruckheimer, whom he trusts. Depp had previously vowed during his defamation case with Amber Heard that he would never work with Disney again, even for a $300 million offer. Recent comments indicate a softened stance, aligning with Bruckheimer’s reports of ongoing script development and negotiations. Disney is also exploring a separate reboot starring Margot Robbie, but no deal has been finalized. Depp’s openness marks his first public reversal since 2023.
