Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow or not? The world has laid its eyes on the Defamation case ever since it began.
Now, as the case has come to its end, the murmurs of Johnny Depp’s reentry as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise have snowballed. Finally, after the roller coaster ride of 7 weeks, the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard saga has concluded with a win falling in Johnny’s lap.
A former studio executive claims that he might make his entry in the next movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. This news might come as a rejoice for Johnny Depp’s fans. Apparently, the movie makers are contemplating bringing Johnny back to the next Pirates of the Caribbean film; that would be Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Trial
During the trial, Depp claimed that he would not return as Captain Jack Sparrow in the franchise under no circumstances. Furthermore, Depp mentioned that he has no future plans of working with Disney again, even if they offer him a handsome amount like $300 million.
However, Johnny Depp’s longtime agent clarified in the court that Johnny’s unprofessional behavior made the movie makers reluctant to cast him in the following installment of the movie. In 2018, Amber Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, claiming herself to be the victim of domestic abuse. As soon as the article came out, Disney broke ties with the 58-year-old actor and did not cast him in any movie.
If brought back, Johnny Depp could be a bankable actor for the franchise. Depp has reaped several benefits from the franchise, and the Oscar award nomination for his role of Captain Jack Sparrow is one of them.
For the unversed, the first-ever installment of the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, hit the silver screens in 2003.
Amidst this, the entertainment industry is abuzz with the rumors of Dwayne Johnson replacing Johnny Depp in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Another Hollywood agent has claimed that Depp’s career might flourish after the trial because he has a passionate and loyal fan base worldwide. Also, Johnny Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard, has been compensated $2 million following the $15.3 million verdicts in his favor.
