Will Johnny Depp Return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6? Producer Hints at Original Cast's Comeback
The Pirates of the Caribbean is one of the most loved movie franchises amongst moviegoers. With the movie being in production for the past few years, the fans have been wondering if it will be released this year or next. They are also curious whether Johnny Depp will return to the screens as Jack Sparrow. Amid the doubts, Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the film franchise, sat down to converse with Screen Rant, where he spilled the beans over the upcoming movie. The producer dropped hints at some of the old cast members returning to the franchise, but he did not confirm the names. Bruckheimer also revealed the status of the film. He said that the script of the movie is currently in the works. Will Johnny Depp return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6? According to the media reports, Johnny Depp was released from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise following Amber Heard's allegations of abuse against the actor. After Disney dropped Depp from the film, he revealed during his court trial that he had no interest in returning. With the statements by the movie star, the fans might be disappointed, but it would be interesting to watch who fills Depp's shoes in the new film. As for the producer, speaking to the media portal, Bruckheimer shared, 'We're working on a screenplay. Hopefully we'll get it right—and then we'll make it. We really want to make it, that's for sure,' referring to the progress in filming. He further added that the movie will be a new take on the franchise. When asked if the whole of the cast was new, or if anybody was to reprise their roles, Bruckheimer said, 'Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back. I'm not going to tell you which ones—you'll have to guess.' Hence, the producer's comments mean that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is still in the early stages of development. The previous movies of the franchise revolved mainly around the characters of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann. Moreover, the fifth installment, Dead Men Tell No Tales, laid out a few possibilities of the upcoming movie going in various directions. Further details for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will be rolled out soon.

Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors It's been eight years since "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", and the sixth movie has been in development ever since. Now, thanks to an interview with ScreenRant, we know a little bit more about the long-brewing sequel. According to "Pirates" producer Jerry Bruckheimer, "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" will be a new take on the franchise, but it will also bring back some of the fan-favorite cast. Bruckheimer was mum about who exactly is coming back, however.

Hopefully we'll get it right — and then we'll make it. We really want to make it, that's for sure." Asked if it would be a continuation or not, Bruckheimer answered, "It'll be a new take on it." "New take, new actors?" the interviewer asked. Bruckheimer responded, "Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back ... I'm not going to tell you which ones — you'll have to guess." Bruckheimer's words on the subject seem to confirm that while "Pirates of the Caribbean 6" will be a "new take" on the franchise, it won't completely reboot the story considering some of the same actors are returning. A wealth of actors have jumped in and out of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise since the 2003 debut of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", but no doubt there are three actors in particular most fans are wondering about: Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Johnny Depp. Bloom himself recently commented on the possibility of returning to the franchise and seemed to like the idea of all three coming back. "Well, I don't know, I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know, but there's definitely availability," Bloom said. "I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like, I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together. That would be great, but there are always different ideas, and so we'll see where it lands." Regardless of where it lands there is no doubt plenty of interest in seeing a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the big screen. The five previous movies pulled in a total of $4.5 billion at the box office.
