Johnny Depp RETURNING to Pirates of the Caribbean as Jack Sparrow five years after last film​

Johnny Depp is returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, it has been reported.

The actor, 59, is believed to be reprising his role as swashbuckling favourite Jack Sparrow five years after his last film.

Depp was axed by the Disney franchise in 2018 after bosses said that they wanted to bring "new energy" to the series.

However, earlier this year it was reported that bosses were keen to have him back for a sixth movie and a Disney Plus spin-off series in a $300 million deal.

Disney were said to have expressed their interest in having Depp return after he won his blockbuster legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, in June.

It is reported that Depp is due to have a test shoot in the UK in February according to a new call sheet from production.

The working title of the film is said to be A Day At The Sea.

A source told The Sun: "Johnny is set to return as Captain Jack Sparrow and is scheduled to start filming at the beginning of February at a top secret location in the UK.

“Everything is in the early stages and there is still no director attached to the project, which is being called A Day At The Sea."

Bruce Hendricks, who worked on the first three films, has been named as an executive producer on the new project, however other details have been kept "under lock and key".

I thought everyone stopped giving a shit two movies ago.

 

[ManaByte]

Another UK tabloid thread?

 

[nightmare-slain]

can't blame him for taking it up again especially if $300m was offered but i'd have told Disney to go take a fuck to themselves.

 

[Ownage]

Fuck the woke Karens of the world. Let good folks live in peace.

 

[Xyphie]

Johnny Depp being both an Oscars and Razzie nominee for the role of Jack Sparrow perfectly summarizes the state of this media franchise.

Bob Iger +1

I’m starting to think this guy knows how to make money and run a conglomerate or something

Bob Chapek will be know as just another fool who tried to destroy Captain Jack Sparrow but failed

 

[Salz01]

I kind of wish he stuck to his guns and told them to go fuck themselves. But 300mill….. hope it’s straight cash to his bank account.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Hm...as much as I'd like for Johnny Depp to have said "fuck you" to any offer after he was wrongly blackballed, can't say I wouldn't take a lucrative offer like this

So which is it? You Google Johnny Depp, and there is a whole host of articles, some say he is returning, others say he isn't

 

[Sybrix]

He should tell Disney to go fuck themselves.

Also, the only good Pirates film was the first one, the others were crap.

Any new one wont be any good.

 

[chromhound]

 

[Batiman]

Awesome. Love me some pirates. Even though the first one is the only great one. I still enjoy the others too. I just love the setting.

 

[Little Mac]

I fucking hope he got paid an obscene amount for it and Amber Heard is crying right now.

 

[akimbo009]

Yay, welcome back Jack.

The source of the OP is The Sun. Basically the National Enquirer.

 

[Laptop1991]

I hope so, the last 2 film's wern't great like the earlier ones but i've liked them from the 1st one, more Captain Jack Sparrow is a good thing.

 

[IWasInSeinfeld]

This is true, I just talked to my man Johnny over here, he confirmed it, there will be at least 7 movies and 2 video games with him in the main role.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

 

[GymWolf]

I don't give a fuck about the saga anymore but good for him if he get payed big money.

 

[FunkMiller]

 

[jufonuk]

How many alpacas or llamas

 

[Trunx81]

“The curse of the crapped bed” will be light years a.head. But that’s only hearsay.

The Sun as a source is as good as our next gen console insiders.

I thought everyone stopped giving a shit two movies ago.

I didn't even know they were still making these. How many are there now?

 

[sinnergy]

Yes! His best role ever !

 

[VN1X]

They should do a crossover with Fast & Furious.

 

[sinnergy]

I didn't even know they were still making these. How many are there now?

5 I think

 

[RoadHazard]

I heard he was offered $301M. Because he said he wouldn't return for $300M.

 

[DJ12]

I heard he was offered $301M. Because he said he wouldn't return for $300M.

And a million Alpacas. Although I imagine he'll drop that demand on account of the storage/land required.

 

[RoadHazard]

And a million Alpacas. Although I imagine he'll drop that demand on account of the storage/land required.

Well, he has that island. They could live there. There are only something like three million alpacas in the world though, so that's a pretty big chunk of them.

 

[AJUMP23]

Ye old pirate.

 

[GloveSlap]

Hopefully we are past letting people's exes be judge, jury, and executioner now.

 

[Artoris]

Let's hope Jack does not step in something sticky and icky

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

So did he get 1 million alpacas?

The last disaster of Chapek legacy is the little mermaid movie.

This is great news that makes me happy! Thanks for sharing!

What can you say people love a comeback story

 

[pramod]

Why not, the dude is ageless. He can play Jack Sparrow well into his 60s.

That's on iger

 

[YukiOnna]

I would love it, but I highly doubt he returns. He has the outfit anyway and forever remains Jack Sparrow for the children.

 

[Tams]

The Sun as a source is as good as our next gen console insiders.

Yeah, but The Metro is more like GAF.

In fact, I'm convinced that the editor in charge of gaming 'letters' there is a GAFfer.

 

[Come On Tars]

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The original 3 movies were pretty good. They keep desecrating the memory of the first 3 movies ever since.

This is not unlike how there were 2 good Terminator films directed by James Cameron and they've been doing nothing but shitting on the greatness of those movies with endless forced sequels which aren't even financially successful.

 

[Husky]

You had me excited until I saw the source was a UK tabloid.

 

[El Pistolero]

I could not give a flying F about the franchise, but doesn't it taste sweet when justice is done...

Wait! It isn't confirmed?
