There was little hope that Johnny Depp would return to the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise. But fans remained optimistic and awaited a miracle. It appears Disney and the producers are moving forward with a reboot without our beloved Captain Jack Sparrow, as recently revealed. Continue reading for the latest disheartening updates. Previously, producer Jerry Bruckheimer hinted Depp may return for Pirates Of The Caribbean 6. He praised the talented actor. While discussing the possibility of Depp coming back to the franchise, Bruckheimer told Entertainment Tonight he would love for that to happen!
In a recent interview with a publication, Pirates Of The Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer broke his silence on the future of his successful franchises, including Top Gun. He said, “It’s hard to tell. You don’t know. You really don’t know. You don’t know how they come together. You just don’t know. Because with ‘Top Gun’ you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does ‘Top Gun,’ I can’t tell you.” Bruckheimer added, “But we’re going to reboot Pirates, so that is easier to assemble because you don’t have to wait for certain actors.” This appeared to be a cryptic message for all the Johnny Depp fans demanding his return to the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise.
Meanwhile, a reboot starring Margot Robbie was previously in the works but was put on hold. It remains unclear if the newly announced movie by Bruckheimer will feature the Barbie actress. As most know, Disney abandoned Johnny Depp shortly after he was accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. In May 2016, the Aquaman 2 actress filed for divorce, alleging abuse, and even obtained a restraining order against Depp. The consequences were severe. Depp faced a Hollywood boycott and was dropped from several films, including Fantastic Beasts 3. He was embroiled in legal battles for years and spent millions trying to prove his innocence.
In 2022, Johnny Depp finally won the defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard in the Virginia trial. His ex-wife was ordered to pay $10.35 million in damages, but the case settled at $1 million. On the work front, Depp made his comeback in Hollywood with the French film Jeanne du Barry. He is soon directing his debut film Modi.
