60 sourcesUpdated Jul 27, 2026

Johnny Depp surprised San Diego Comic-Con crowds in full Ebenezer Scrooge costume to debut the first trailer for Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, directed by Ti West, with a November 13, 2026 release date. The ensemble now includes Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley, Sam Claflin, Ian McKellen, Andrea Riseborough, and others. The trailer signals a darker ghosts-of-Christmas approach. Depp made a dramatic entrance via a pop-up storefront and later crashed Collider’s Directors on Directing panel, renewing attention to his return after his high-profile defamation case with Amber Heard. Coverage highlighted Hall H appearances and street-side moments as part of Comic-Con’s spectacle, amid broader industry buzz. The reporting frames Depp’s comeback against a backdrop of ongoing debates about his personal history and legal battles.
