9th June 2023, Mumbai: For his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Johnny Depp is well-known. He became extremely well-known and wealthy because to this part. Depp’s collaboration with Disney, however, ended after his ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of abusing her while they were still married.
In a subsequent lawsuit, Johnny Depp sought $50 million in damages, claiming that Amber Heard had defamed him by writing that she is a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” In his legal conflict with ex-wife Heard, Depp prevailed.
People began speculating that Johnny Depp would reprise his legendary role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean film after Johnny Depp won the defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.
According to The Daily Mail, Johnny Depp won’t be playing Jack Sparrow in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean film from Disney. According to the article, Depp was unhappy with how Disney handled the Amber Heard situation and will not be working for the company again anytime soon, even if it means forgoing a sizable paycheck in the millions. Depp declared that his partnership with Disney had come to an unambiguous conclusion even during the slander trial. After Heard’s accusations, Disney removed Depp from the sixth Pirates film.
The Pirates franchise producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, stated that he would like Johnny Depp to return but that Disney ultimately has the final say. This was in a 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “You’d have to ask them,” according to Bruckheimer. “I’m unable to respond to that query. He’d be perfect for the picture, in my opinion. He’s a great actor and a buddy, but it’s awful when our personal lives influence our work,” he stated.
However, the sixth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series might not draw a sizable audience if Johnny Depp decides not to return as Jack Sparrow.
