‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6’ now stars Johnny Depp again? There are new clues, but also a catch

After Johnny Depp staggered through the Caribbean for five films as the perpetually drunken pirate Jack Sparrow and became the trademark of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series, Disney parted ways with the actor, who made headlines for the legal dispute with his ex. wife Amber Heard was. But it’s been looking for a while now that that same trademark could return to the ‘Pirates Of The Carribean’ franchise – at least Disney’s Sean Bailey no longer ruled it out in 2023. And now there are new clues.

Because Hollywood insider Daniel Richtman reports: Rumor has it that Disney is actually planning Johnny Depp’s return as Captain Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean 6“to consider. However, he also mentions a catch: Depp’s return may only happen for a supporting role are. This could ultimately mean that the actor only returns for a few scenes, which would fit in with the possible orientation of “Pirates of the Caribbean 6” as a so-called soft reboot.

The new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film from authors Ted Elliott and Craig Mazin, the man behind series hits such as ‘Chernobyl’ and ‘The Last Of Us’, would send a new, “younger cast of pirates” on a treasure hunt. The adventures of these new main characters would take place in the same universe as the previous ‘Caribbean’ films – guest appearances from not only Jack Sparrow, but also Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Co. would then be possible at any time.

Instead of Johnny Depp: who will be the new “Caribbean” star?

Daniel Richtman also reported the news that came out a few weeks ago that there would be a new major contender for the lead role in “Pirates of the Caribbean 6”: Shooting star “The Bear”. Ayo Edebiri. She would play a character named Anne, It is currently unknown if she is a pirate from the start or if she falls into these circles like Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) in the original series.

According to the magazine, Johnny Depp also recently appeared open to working with Disney again after the actor previously categorically rejected it out of disappointment.

But it’s not just the as-yet-untitled “Pirates of the Caribbean 6” that’s in the works. Moreover, this is also the case Spin-off of ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ with ‘Barbie’ star Margot Robbie worked in the lead role. However, this should only be addressed after “Pirates of the Caribbean 6”.
