As Hollyood actor Johnny Depp has won the defamation case, there are high chances that Disney might consider him as a part of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ in the future.
A former executive shared that there is a huge demand for Johnny Depp’s return as Jack Sparrow and it is highly likely that the star will return to reboot his role. “I absolutely believe post-verdict that Pirates is primed for rebooting with Johnny as Capt. Jack back on board,” he said.
According to Depp, 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 huge appetite for bringing back bankable Hollywood stars in massively popular franchises,” the insider added.
Depp began his career as Jack Sparrow in the 2003 movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The hit sequels came out in 2006, 2007, 2011, and 2017.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise began with a trilogy of films in which Johnny Depp co-starred with Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Geoffrey Rush. After this trilogy ended in 2007, Bloom and Knightley left the franchise, and 2011’s On Stranger Tides featured Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane alongside Depp. Orlando Bloom then reprised his role in Dead Men Tell No Tales, which also featured Javier Bardem. The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise’s wealth of talented and celebrated actors are just one contributing factor to its success, although Depp’s iconic turn as Sparrow has so far been the most reliable constant.
