Could Captain Jack Sparrow be setting sail again? Fans of Johnny Depp and Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have been eagerly awaiting news on whether the iconic actor will reprise his legendary role in the upcoming sixth installment. While the answer remains unclear, a new report sheds light on the possibility.
According to Variety, Disney has “not engaged with Johnny Depp” about returning to the franchise. However, there’s a glimmer of hope—producer Jerry Bruckheimer is reportedly working on two versions of the movie’s script. One of these potential scripts includes Depp’s involvement, suggesting there’s still a chance for a reunion if the actor and Disney can reconcile.
A source told the outlet, “Nothing has been ruled out.”
Earlier this year, Bruckheimer confirmed that the sixth movie would act as a reboot of the billion-dollar franchise. Adding fuel to the speculation, the producer was spotted reuniting with Depp just months ago. The move sparked fan excitement, with many wondering if it signaled the beginning of Jack Sparrow’s return.
Depp’s portrayal of the eccentric and swashbuckling Jack Sparrow in all five Pirates films is one of the most celebrated in cinematic history. While his involvement remains uncertain, the potential for his return would undoubtedly be a major draw for fans and could breathe new life into the beloved franchise.
