Margot Robbie Johnny Depp

It's been nearly five years since a new Pirates of the Caribbean film hit theaters, and many fans are eager for another installment. It was reported in 2020 that a sixth film was in the works, with a predominantly female cast led by Margot Robbie.

Robbie responded to the reports months later with a cheeky tease, but not much has been said since then. Of course, many people are wondering if Johnny Depp will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a future film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has now spoken out on the subject.

While Bruckheimer is currently focused on promoting Top Gun: Maverick, he is also working on a number of other projects. And it appears that this includes Pirates of the Caribbean content from Disney.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Bruckheimer confirmed that the studio is currently working on two screenplays, one with and one without the Birds of Prey star. When asked if the Jack Sparrow actor would return for the sequel, the producer said Not at this point. The future is yet to be decided.

Fans had mixed feelings about the prospect of Margot Robbie directing a Pirates film. While some appeared to support it, others claimed that the series could not continue without Johnny Depp in the lead role.

While Jerry Bruckheimer didn't completely dismiss the possibility, it doesn't appear to be a foregone conclusion. And it doesn't appear that Depp is keen on donning his pirate hat once more at this time.

During the legal proceedings, Depp has stated that he has no desire to reprise his famous role, despite the fact that he has apparently never seen the films. He also revealed that he had ideas for how to end Sparrow's story before leaving the major IP.

Despite his lack of interest in returning, fans continue to campaign for his return. A petition in support of the cause garnered over 100, 000 signatures earlier this year, and now it has new life thanks to this latest legal case.

Former Pirates co-stars have also come out in support of the actor, believing that he should be allowed to reprise his Oscar-nominated role.
