Who thought Johnny Depp starring in Pirates Of The Caribbean 6 would turn into a dream someday? Fans are desperate to see him reprise his leading character as Captain Jack Sparrow. The latest rumors suggest that Disney is working on the possibilities, but the plot twist will disappoint you. Scroll below for all the details!
As most know, Johnny was ousted from multiple Hollywood projects since he lost the UK trial against The Sun over their “wife-beater” claims. His life turned upside down when his ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of domestic violence. Despite shooting for a day, he was allegedly removed from the Fantastic Beasts 3 cast.
Johnny Depp will work with Disney again in Pirates Of The Caribbean 6?
Disney has been working on several ideas to take the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise forward. A spin-off starring Margot Robbie was announced but later shelved. The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin also claimed that the studio had approved his idea for the sixth installment, but there has yet to be an official confirmation or announcement.
As per The Hollywood Handle via insider Daniel Richtman on X/Twitter, Disney is now considering casting Johnny Depp in Pirates Of The Caribbean 6. While most would be elated to hear that, there’s an unexpected twist. The superstar will reportedly be seen in a supporting role.
Captain Jack Sparrow fans were rather disappointed to hear the update.
A user reacted, “Johnny Depp would never take it, not after how they treated him during the trials.”
Another wrote, “Supporting role ? Lol na. It’s Jack Sparrow, he’s why people watch the movies”
A comment read, “I don’t see him accepting unless Disney pays through the nose.”
“I’m considering not going if he’s not the star. How bout that Disney,” reacted a fan.
Another reacted, “No. He shouldn’t support it. They’re just using him to sell tickets for his own replacement. Let the new movie fail on its own.”
When Johnny Depp broke silence on working with Disney again
Johnny Depp slammed Amber Heard with a $50 million defamation suit over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post. Without taking his name, she claimed to be a domestic violence survivor. During the trial, the Hollywood superstar declared that he would never work with Disney again.
Depp confirmed that he would decline the offer to be a part of Pirates Of The Caribbean 6 even if he’s offered a staggering sum of $301 million. He was hurt by the way Disney abandoned him shortly after the domestic violence allegations came to light.
