Johnny Depp could return as Captain Jack Sparrow according to Jerry Bruckheimer
Will Captain Jack be back? (Picture: Moviestore/REX/Shutterstock) Johnny Depp could be setting sail again as Captain Jack Sparrow, according to Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer, 80 – who has been behind major hit movies including Armageddon, Top Gun, Con Air and the Bad Boys films with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence -recently revealed that discussions have taken place about the actor's return to the franchise, despite earlier reports to the contrary. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bruckheimer confirmed that development on the next installment of the blockbuster Disney franchise is moving forward, with a screenplay currently in development. He said Depp's participation would ultimately depend on how the character is written. 'If he likes the way the part's written, I think he would do it,' Bruckheimer explained, noting that the script is still being refined. 'It's all about what's on the page, as we all know… We want to make it. We just got to get the right screenplay. We haven't quite gotten there yet, but we're close.'

Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney) The producer called Depp 'a good friend'(Picture:) After a series of vague updates in recent years, Bruckheimer previously shared that new Pirates films will feature a fresh cast – with no mention of Depp. This may or may not chime with talk in 2022 of a female-led take with Barbie star Margot Robbie. Fans who were appalled by the implication that Depp wouldn't return are almost certainly thrilled by this latest update. The last Pirates outing, 2017's Dead Men Tell No Tales, saw Depp reprise his iconic role alongside franchise veterans Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley. It remains to be seen which members of the original cast end up appearing in the reboot (Picture: Greg Gorman/Walt Disney/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock) While the planned sixth film is being described as a reboot, Bruckheimer has made it clear he would like to see Sparrow make at least a cameo appearance. 'It's a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it,' Bruckheimer told the magazine. 'I love him. He's a good friend. He's an amazing artist, and he's a unique look. He created Captain Jack… that was his interpretation. It wasn't on the page — he came up with that blend of Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards.' The producer also revealed that Jeff Nathanson, who wrote Dead Men Tell No Tales, is once again behind the script for the upcoming film. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page According to Bruckheimer, Nathanson has already 'cracked' the story's ending. 'He's got an amazing third act,' Bruckheimer said. 'We just gotta clean up the first and second, and then we'll get there. But he wrote a great, great third act.' Although Disney has not officially announced a release date or confirmed casting, the prospect of Depp returning as the rum-loving pirate will likely excite fans who have campaigned for his comeback in recent years. For now, Bruckheimer says the team's priority is perfecting the script – but the door to the Black Pearl appears to be wide open for Captain Jack Sparrow. Got a story?

Johnny Depp Approached for "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" Return
Yara Sameh Johnny Depp has been approached for the sixth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly , franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed he has spoken to Depp about a new 'Pirates' movie. The producer feels optimistic that Depp could return to reprise his iconic role as Jack Sparrow. 'If he likes the way the part's written, I think he would do it,' Bruckheimer noted. 'It's all about what's on the page, as we all know… We are still working on a screenplay. We want to make it. We just got to get the right screenplay. We haven't quite gotten there yet, but we're close.' Depp headlined five 'Pirates' movies from 2003 to 2017, all of which grossed more than $650 million at the worldwide box office. 2006's 'Dead Man's Chest' and 2011's 'On Stranger Tides' both topped the $1 billion mark. The actor's future with the Disney-backed franchise has been a question mark following his legal troubles and his 2022 trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. After Depp's legal victory, he has been busy mounting a Hollywood comeback with the Lionsgate action-thriller 'Day Drinker,'. This only put more speculation over whether he would be open to collaborating again with Disney (and vice versa). With Depp front and center, the 'Pirates' movies have collectively grossed $4.5 billion. The road to a new 'Pirates' movie has been a long one. In summer 2020, Disney was reported to be in early development on two 'Pirates' movies: A reboot led by Margot Robbie and a sixth film in the original franchise written by Craig Mazin and Ted Elliott, the latter of whom co-wrote the first four 'Pirates' movies. However, Robbie told Vanity Fair in November 2022 that Disney was not interested in her 'more of a female-led' movie, although Bruckheimer downplayed the claim by later telling EW there was still room for both 'Pirates' movies to exist and 'I think Disney agrees they really want to make the Margot one, too.' As for the other 'Pirates' movie, Bruckheimer told the outlet last summer that screenwriter Jeff Nathanson had boarded the project. Nathanson wrote the script for the last 'Pirates' movie, 2017's 'Dead Men Tell No Tales.' 'He's cracked it,' Bruckheimer said of Nathanson's script. 'He's got an amazing third act. We just gotta clean up the first and second and then we'll get there. But he wrote a great, great third act.' Whether or not Nathanson's script is a new draft of Mazin's or an entirely original screenplay remains to be seen. Mazin told the Los Angeles Times last year that his script for 'Pirates 6″ was so weird he was surprised Disney signed off on it. He added: 'We pitched it and thought there's no way they're buying it, it's too weird. And they did! And then we wrote a fantastic script and the strike happened and everyone's waiting around.' Bruckheimer also said last summer that he would be open to bringing Depp back for the Nathanson-penned movie. He explained: 'It's a reboot, but if it was up to me, [Johnny] would be in it. I love him. He's a good friend. He's an amazing artist and he's a unique look. He created Captain Jack. That was not on the page, that was him doing a little Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. That was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow.' Depp's last Hollywood studio movie was 2018's 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.' He had just finished his first day of filming the sequel, 'Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,' when Warner Bros. asked him to exit the movie a day after he lost his 2020 libel trial against The Sun. The actor sued the U.K. publication for referring to him as a 'wife beater,' but the court ruled this characterization of Depp was 'substantially true.' Depp was eventually recast in the sequel with Mads Mikkelsen. A second trial centered on Depp took place in the U.S. in 2022 after Depp sued ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in which she referred to herself as 'a figure representing domestic abuse.' The outcome of this trial was more in Depp's favor, as the jury ultimately ruled that Heard did defame Depp in the op-ed (although the jury also ruled that Depp defamed Heard in the course of fighting back against her charges). read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

Johnny Depp open to Pirates of the Caribbean 6 return on one condition
Pirates of the Caribbean 6 remains in development, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Johnny Depp is open to returning as Captain Jack Sparrow—if the script is to his liking. The franchise began as a Disneyland attraction before achieving worldwide success with Gore Verbinski's 2003 film The Curse of the Black Pearl. Depp's portrayal of Sparrow became a defining element of the series, which saw Verbinski direct the next two sequels before different directors took over for the fourth and fifth films. A sixth instalment has faced delays since 2018 due to creative changes, script rewrites, and Depp's high-profile legal dispute with ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp was dropped from the role during the controversy, but after the trial concluded with a jury finding Heard liable for defamation, public perception shifted. During the trial, Depp had said 'nothing on this earth' would make him return to the role, 'even if Disney presented me with $300 million and a million alpacas.' However, in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bruckheimer revealed that the actor is willing to discuss a comeback. 'If he likes the way the part's written, I think he would do it. It's all about what's on the page, as we all know,' Bruckheimer said. He also confirmed Pirates 6 will be a reboot but expressed his preference for Depp's involvement. 'If it was up to me, he would be in it. I love him. He's a good friend. He's an amazing artist and he's a unique look. He created Captain Jack,' Bruckheimer noted, recalling Depp's unique blend of influences in shaping the character.
