The future of Pirates of the Caribbean 6 has been a hot topic among fans. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer recently dropped hints about the return of original cast members. However, he stayed silent on whether Johnny Depp will reprise his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Bruckheimer confirmed that the script for the sixth installment is still in development. He mentioned the film will bring a “new take” to the franchise while keeping some familiar faces.
“Well, not all new actors. We’ll have some back. I’m not going to tell you which ones—you’ll have to guess.”
This vague statement has sparked intense speculation. Fans are eagerly debating whether Depp, Orlando Bloom, or Keira Knightley will return.
Depp’s involvement remains uncertain. Disney previously cut ties with him following abuse allegations from his ex-wife Amber Heard. During his defamation trial, Depp stated he would not return to the franchise even for “$300 million and a million alpacas.”
However, recent reports suggest Disney may be reconsidering. Some sources claim the studio is quietly preparing for Depp’s return. Others believe the franchise might move forward without him.
Orlando Bloom, who played Will Turner, has expressed interest in returning. He said it would be “great to get the band back together.” His comments have fueled hopes for a reunion of the original cast.
Fans have strong opinions about Depp’s potential return. Many argue that the franchise would not be the same without him.
“Won’t be Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp….”
“And in unison, everyone screamed ‘don’t waste your time if Johnny Depp isn’t the main character.’”
“Johnny Depp in it or we ain’t watching.”
The last film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, was released in 2017. Since then, the franchise has faced delays and script rewrites. A female-led spin-off starring Margot Robbie was also in development but appears to be shelved.
Bruckheimer has been a consistent supporter of Depp. He previously stated he would “love” to have the actor back. However, Disney’s final decision remains unclear.
The sixth film is expected to introduce new characters while keeping ties to the original story. Previous reports suggested it might focus on new leads like Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) and Carina Barbossa (Kaya Scodelario).
Despite the uncertainty, one thing is clear: fans want Johnny Depp back as Jack Sparrow. Whether Disney listens to this demand will determine the film’s success.
