Is Johnny Depp Returning in Pirates of the Caribbean 6?

The future of Captain Jack Sparrow remains one of Hollywood’s most intriguing mysteries. With Pirates of the Caribbean 6 officially in development, fans are eager to know: Is Johnny Depp part of the cast?

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that the sixth installment is underway, describing it as a “new take” on the franchise. While the film won’t be a complete reboot, it will feature a mix of new and returning characters.

🕵️‍♂️ Johnny Depp’s Role

Despite past legal controversies and Disney’s initial distancing from Depp, recent reports suggest the door isn’t fully closed. Bruckheimer revealed that two scripts are being developed—one with Depp’s iconic Jack Sparrow and one without. However, Disney has not officially approached Depp yet.

💬 Fan Speculation & Hope

Depp previously stated he wouldn’t return “even for $300 million and a million alpacas,” but sources now hint he may reconsider. Bruckheimer’s continued praise for Depp and the character’s enduring popularity fuel optimism.

📅 Release Timeline

With the script still in progress and no confirmed cast, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is likely a few years away from hitting theaters.
