Pirates of the Caribbean 6: Will Johnny Depp return as captain Jack Sparrow?

Following the announcement of the development of Pirates of the Caribbean 6, fans of the Pirate Adventure franchise are curious about whether or not Johnny Depp will return to the franchise to reprise his role of Jack Sparrow and continue to entertain fans with his clever thinking, nature, and singularity calculations. Here's everything you need to know about the anticipated return of Johnny Depp.

Will Johnny Depp be in Pirates of the Caribbean 6?

At the time of writing, Johnny Depp's return as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 has not been officially confirmed by Disney, Depp or Jerry Bruckheimer, creator of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

However, Bruckheimer revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that he would love to work with Depp again, saying:

"We'll see. I will be delighted. I'd love to have them in the movie – that's all I can tell you. "

In addition, in recent times Johnny Depp has expressed openness in reprising his role of Jack Sparrow and working with Disney again. According to sources close to the Jack Sparrow star, Deep Swan was ahead of his return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. However, the return is determinant on one condition and that condition is that the sixth film must be the right project for him.

Depp's recent interest in returning to the franchise contradicts reports of his originally negative reaction to returning as Jack Sparrow in 2022 and the way Amber Heard treated him during the legal turmoil. The reason the Mouse House refused to work with Disney was that they clearly felt betrayed. This was confirmed when he told Amber Heard's attorney Ben Rottenborn that he would not work with Disney again, even though he offered to pay her $300 million for the sixth film.

Will Captain Jack Sparrow be in Pirates of the Caribbean 6?

Although Johnny Depp's return to the franchise as Captain Jack Sparrow has not been confirmed, there is a possibility that Disney could go ahead with telling more of Captain Jack Sparrow's stories by re-casting the character.

However, there is no doubt that the recasting will prove controversial and will invite a lot of fan reaction as Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow are synonymous with each other from this point on.
