Johnny Depp Is Not Ruling Out a Disney Reunion
Despite previously stating that he would never work with Disney again, Johnny Depp may be opening the door to a return as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Following his defamation trial against Amber Heard, Depp adamantly stated that he felt betrayed by Disney’s decision to remove him from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and distance themselves from the actor.
“I didn’t quite understand how after that long relationship, and quite a successful relationship certainly for Disney, that suddenly I was guilty until proven innocent,” Depp testified during his trial.
When asked under oath, “The fact is, Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film? Correct?”
Depp responded, “That is true, Mr. Rottenborn.”
Never Say Never
As they say, time heals all wounds. Last month a Disney executive seemed to open the door for a Depp return. When talking about the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise Disney Studio Motion Picture Production president Sean Bailey would not rule out Depp’s return.
Now, according to a source close to the legendary actor, a reunion with Disney is not out of the question.
“Anything is possible,” the Depp insider says. “If it’s the right project, he’ll do it.”
A Reunion with Bruckheimer?
With Pirates producer and longtime Depp collaborator Jerry Bruckheimer coming off the massive success of Top Gun: Maverick, could Depp and Bruckheimer try to recreate some Pirates magic?
“You’d have to ask them. I can’t answer that question. I would love to have him in the movie. He’s a friend, a terrific actor, and it’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do,” Bruckheimer said in 2022.
Hopefully, we have not seen the last of Captain Jack Sparrow.
