Johnny Depp Could Reportedly Make a Comeback for Next ‘Pirates’ Movie, Former Disney Exec Says

A former 🏰Disney executive suggested actor 🎬Johnny Depp could be making a comeback for the next “Pirates of the Caribbean” film.

“I absolutely believe post-verdict that Pirates is primed for rebooting with Johnny as Capt. Jack back on board,” the former executive told People Magazine.

The individual added, “There is just too much potential box-office treasure for a beloved character deeply embedded in the 🏰Disney culture.”

The insider explained, “With Jerry Bruckheimer riding high on the massive success of Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick, there is huge appetite for bringing back bankable Hollywood stars in massively popular franchises.”

Another insider who has worked on other “Pirates” films told the magazine it is “not very likely” Depp will “come back as a star, but they’d probably make Pirates 6 with Margot Robbie or someone similar.”

Additionally, the insider said, “I would think they make Robbie his daughter and likely have a cameo with him as a test.”

An additional industry source explained to People that Depp “will work again,” adding, “I do feel someone will give him a chance. He is very likable and very talented. A studio will just have to gauge and see it worth the risk and value, but he also won public opinion. He gained a whole new fan base through this and, yes, he will be back.”
