Fans cannot stop reacting to Johnny Depp’s potential return as Captain Jack Sparrow. In a recent update, it has been revealed that Depp might come back to reprise his iconic role.
In a recent update from Deadline, producer Jerry Bruckheimer stated that Depp was being approached for The Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Bruckheimer told Deadline, “We’re talking with Johnny [Depp], we’re working on a screenplay, and hopefully we can get this done.”
Such an announcement was enough for the fans to get overly excited. Taking to social media, fans of the Pirates franchise were split. While most wanted Depp to come back, a few also expressed a hint of skepticism as to how things would pan out after so long. @MondoMonroeØØ said, “STFU !! Please don’t play with my emotions.”
@Winnie115z wrote, “Bruckheimer knows that Pirates is basically a dead franchise without Captain Jack Sparrow, but everything hinges on script quality. Depp isn’t going to sign on just for a quick nostalgia cash grab after everything that happened with Disney.”
@Oluwachester pointed out, “The nostalgia is hitting hard. Really hope they finalize the script and bring him back!” @MarchBankØ1 commented, “I wish him back because he was the perfect person for that set. Johnny.” @Ope_verse chimed in saying, “yes pls disney do it.” @Oluwachester quipped, “The captain is finally heading back to sea! This is the best news ever—the franchise just isn’t the same without him. Bring on the rum!”
What do we know about Pirates of the Caribbean 6’s future so far?
Deadline further reported that the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean movie, if materialized, will not follow the old pattern. Rather, the plot will revolve around Margot Robbie, while Captain Jack Sparrow plays second fiddle. However, currently there is no confirmation on whether the project will be moving forward. Thus, no news about the potential cast members or the plot is available.
The last time fans got to see Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow was nine years ago, in 2017. The movie, Dead Man Tell No Tales, grossed nearly $800 million at the worldwide box office.
