Johnny Depp could return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, according to the latest rumors about the Disney-owned film series.
After starring in five films of the saga, Johnny Depp said he was fired by Disney from his iconic role due to the accusations made by his ex-wife Amber Heard. The actor emerged victorious from that defamation trial. This has led to huge fan demand to bring Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow, although it conflicts with rumors that the franchise will be rebooted with a female protagonist. However, according to scooper Daniel Richtman, Disney is now considering bringing Depp back for an already planned Pirates of the Caribbean film, but it would only be for a supporting role, rather than the lead.
New rumors have emerged about Johnny Depp's return to Pirates of the Caribbean
At the moment these rumors have not been confirmed and it is unclear whether Johnny Depp will really be involved in the next Pirates of the Caribbean film. However, it would not be a surprise if Depp was indeed "recovered", even if for a limited role. It's not difficult to imagine that Disney wants to continue the franchise with new characters. Depp's Captain Jack could return to the screen for a special cameo, a kind of compromise for all fans of the saga. Many fans have said they will refuse to watch another Pirates of the Caribbean film if Depp is missing.
Would Johnny Depp agree to return?
During his libel trial, Johnny Depp said he felt "betrayed" by Disney after it fired him. He also testified that he would not be willing to work with Disney again, even if he were offered "300 million dollars and a million alpacas." Of course, it's always possible that he could change his mind now that the legal battle is behind him and he has resumed his career.
