Good news for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean: Johnny Depp has finally signaled that he might reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the franchise’s next film. This is a surprising shift after he previously said he wouldn’t work with Disney again.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Depp said he’d consider returning to the iconic role if the next film can provide a proper conclusion to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, ensuring Jack Sparrow’s adventures end on a more satisfying note for fans.
Depp also said he still has a good relationship with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and is willing to work with him again, thanks to the trust and friendship they’ve built over the years.

Previously, Depp said he wouldn’t return to the franchise even for a huge payday, a statement made during his legal battle with ex‑wife Amber Heard.
Now the situation is changing. Bruckheimer has confirmed that talks with Depp are still ongoing and the script for the sixth film is being written, though no formal agreement has been reached yet to bring the actor back.
Meanwhile, the Pirates of the Caribbean project previously linked to Margot Robbie hasn’t progressed much, leaving the franchise’s future still uncertain.
Even without a firm commitment, Depp’s recent comments have given hope to fans who want to see Jack Sparrow back on the big screen.
