Johnny Depp could return as Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates of the Caribbean 6'
- At D23, producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed he is in discussions with Johnny Depp regarding a return to the Pirates franchise for a sixth film. Bruckheimer stated, "we're working on a screenplay and hopefully we can get this done."
- The sixth installment has been in development for years following the 2017 release of the previous film. During a 2022 trial, Depp joked he would not work for Disney even for "$300 million and a million alpacas."
- Reports suggest the next chapter may focus on a protagonist played by Margot Robbie, with Captain Jack Sparrow appearing as a side character rather than the lead. Bruckheimer's team is actively developing the screenplay.
- Despite years of uncertainty, the prospect of Sparrow returning to the Black Pearl appears considerably more tangible than it has in previous years. These discussions mark a significant shift in the actor's relationship with the studio.
- Disney has yet to announce a cast for the next film, and Depp has not officially signed on to the project. The franchise continues development as industry observers await formal confirmation.
