Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he had spoken with Johnny Depp about returning to the franchise and stated that the actor would be interested in coming back.

“If he likes the way the character is written, I think he would do it,” Bruckheimer told Entertainment Weekly. “It all depends on what’s on the page, as we all know,” he continued.
Johnny Depp has been out of the Disney franchise since he cut ties with the company in 2018, after his ex-wife, Amber Heard, claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse, without naming the actor.
According to Bruckheimer, the new film in the franchise would be a reboot, but he would like to see the captain in action again.
“I love him. He’s a good friend. He’s an incredible artist with a unique look. He created Jack Sparrow. That wasn’t in the script; he added a bit of Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. It was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow,” he commented.
The producer said the biggest challenge is getting the script right.
The last “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie was released in 2017, with Johnny Depp playing the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow. Since 2022, the actor has been working on independent films outside of Hollywood.
