Johnny Depp to return to Pirates of the Caribbean
According to insider reports, there have been rumors circulating about Johnny Depp’s potential reconciliation with Disney, suggesting a possible comeback to the franchise.
The insider stated, “Anything is possible. If it’s the right project, he’ll do it,” alluding to Depp’s earlier sentiments where he expressed feeling “betrayed” by the renowned production company.
This recent development follows The New York Times’ previous disclosure, over a month ago, that Disney appeared to be cautiously considering a future collaboration with the actor.
Although neither source confirmed whether Depp’s return would be specifically for the Pirates of the Caribbean series, devoted fans of the franchise have swiftly linked the speculation to his potential revival of one of his most cherished characters.
Speculation surrounding Depp’s potential comeback to Disney initially surfaced in June 2022, triggered by a report from Poptopic.

The report claimed that the 60-year-old actor had received a lucrative $300 million USD contract offer from Disney to reprise his role.
Interestingly, these rumors emerged around the same time as Depp’s widely publicized defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. A representative for Depp swiftly dismissed any claims of his return as “false” in a statement to People Magazine.
While the prospect of Depp returning as Captain Jack Sparrow remains largely speculative, there is a glimmer of hope for enthusiasts of the franchise.
Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed to The Times that work has commenced on “two Pirates scripts – one with Margot Robbie, one without.” This hints at potential future developments for the beloved series.
