After his long-awaited success in the defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, The famous Captain Jack Sparrow is expected to return to the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise!
Indeed a piece of good news for all the Captain Jack Sparrow stans out there.
The legal battle between the former couple ended on Wednesday, June 2, 2022. The trial continued for almost six weeks, and it was one of the most followed Hollywood trials on TV and social media.
In response to her 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post, actor Johnny Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard. The Aquaman star wrote that she survived domestic problems; she said she had been assaulted. Although she didn’t explicitly mention Johnny Depp’s name in her statement, it was quite evident since the two were married for almost a year and later got divorced.
Depp sued her for $50 million and claimed that his reputation had been tarnished because of Amber’s statements. He also said that he had been severely affected by Heard’s allegations. It was true as he was removed from the Pirates movie franchise and stopped getting any roles at all.
Amber Heard then countersued him for $100 million while claiming that the 58-year-old actor tried to defame her for being ‘honest’ about his toxic behavior.
Overall, it was a sick trial with many twists and turns and several wicked revelations.
Although his fans never left him and supported him throughout his legal battle with Amber Heard, the filmmakers hesitated to cast him in the past few years. But now that he has won the case and officially cleared his name with the jury’s verdict, he’s suddenly the ‘most wanted star’ again.
Recently, a former Walt Disney Studios executive stated that there might be a new Pirates movie with Johnny Depp in it.
While talking to the People, the executive said, “There’s a huge appetite!”
“I absolutely believe post-verdict that Pirates is primed for rebooting with Johnny as Captain Jack back on board. There is just too much potential box-office treasure for a beloved character deeply embedded in the Disney culture. With [producer] Jerry Bruckheimer riding high on the massive success of Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick, there is a huge appetite for bringing back bankable Hollywood stars in massively popular franchises.”
With this statement going viral, fans cannot contain their excitement. Many people posted on Twitter that they want a new Pirates movie with Johnny Depp in it. And if he’s not into the movie, they are just done with the series.
“I’m never watching any Pirates of the Caribbean movie that has no Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow.” A fan tweeted.
Another wrote, “Make Pirates of the Caribbean great again.” Well, obviously, with Johnny Depp in it.
While rumors and predictions are making rounds on the internet, we still aren’t sure if Johnny himself is ready to make this comeback or not.

Disney is a very corrupt corporation ! Also They abandoned Johnny, most fans did not ! If they make another film of the Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny was doubt it would fo very well!
They will have to do a huge amount of begging to get a Johnny back !
Agreed. What was it? $300M & 100 alpacas? Good luck with that, Disney!
He is an iconic actor. Pirates of the Caribbean is basically what JD brings to the movie, not the other way around. The more scenes he has the better the movie gets. No fan watch the movie for the amazing graphics or the wonderful music but we surely go for his priceless facial expressions, and the look in his eye that differ with every sentence he says.
I think Disney acted out and were not loyal at all.Bad move Disney.I hope he comes back as he is the Pirate and makes it so excellent he is the movie.But Disney better offer something never offered before with a million apologies.
If Johnny depp isn’t jack sparrow there is no pirates of the Caribbean
