Depp turned his account into a three-post ad for Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, which opens in theaters Nov. 13.
- On Thursday, July 23, 2026, actor Johnny Depp cleared his Instagram grid, replacing his posts with three images spelling "BAH HUM BUG" to promote his upcoming film Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol.
- Directed by Ti West, the film is a horror-inspired adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol, which Paramount Pictures scheduled for theatrical release on November 13, 2026.
- Depp portrays the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge in the film, described as a "thrilling ghost story set in Dickens' London," with ensemble cast members Rupert Grint, Sir Ian McKellen, and Daisy Ridley.

- Updating his profile bio, Depp teased the character's origins with "Before he was Scrooge, he was Ebenezer." The production aims to distinguish itself by exploring the story's darker, supernatural themes.
