Potential Return to Pirates Franchise

A significant development in Depp’s career could be his potential return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer has expressed support for Depp’s return, stating in 2024, “If it was up to me, he would be in it.” While Bruckheimer has teased that Pirates of the Caribbean 6’s cast includes some familiar stars, Depp’s presence hasn’t been directly confirmed but remains plausible.
