Pirates Of The Caribbean Producer Claims He's Spoken To Johnny Depp About Appearing In Next Film

Johnny Depp in Pirates OfThe CaribbeanPirates Of The Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer has claimed he’s held conversations with Johnny Depp about reprising his role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the next film in the series.Rumours of a reboot of the live-action Disney franchise have been swirling for years, with Bruckheimer confirming last year that a new movie was on the horizon.And while the producer claimed just a couple of months ago that he was eyeing actors from the original series to return for the revival, he was more forthcoming about exactly who he had in mind during a new interview with Entertainment Weekly.Bruckheimer told the US outlet that he’d been in contact with Depp about coming back as Jack Sparrow, and claimed the actor would be up for it as long as the script is right.“If he likes the way the part’s written, I think he would do it,” he said, adding: “It’s a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it. I love him. He’s a good friend.“He’s an amazing artist, and he’s a unique look. He created Captain Jack. That was not on the page; that was him doing a little Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. That was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow.”Johnny Depp and Jerry Bruckheimer in 2014However, it’s perhaps worth pointing out that, while testifying in his infamous 2022 court case, the Edward Scissorhands actor insisted he would not even accept an offer of “$300 million and a million alpacas” to reprise his role in a future Pirates Of The Caribbean film, after claiming Disney had dropped him from the franchise years earlier.Depp has been a controversial figure in Hollywood ever since his ex-wife Amber Heard alleged during their divorce proceedings in 2016 that he had been abusive towards her in their marriage, which he denied at the time.They later reached a settlement and issued a joint statement which read: “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm.”In 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation over an opinion piece in which she wrote that she had been a victim of domestic abuse, without mentioning anyone, including her famous ex-husband, by name.After a prolific court case, a jury found in 2022 that Heard had defamed Depp with the statements in her opinion piece years earlier.Two years prior, Depp also sued the publishers of The Sun newspaper over a piece describing him as a “wife-beater”. The UK’s High Court Of Justice eventually ruled that the “great majority” of Heard’s allegations of abuse could be proven to the civil standard, and as a result The Sun’s description of him was “substantially true”.Depp appealed this verdict, but the request was eventually denied.READ MORE:Here's Where Things Stand For The Future Of The Pirates Of The Caribbean Franchise'What The F**k?': Jenna Ortega Still Has Strong Feelings About Those False Johnny Depp RumoursRyan Gosling's New Movie Comes Under Fire For 'Cheap' Amber Heard And Johnny Depp Joke
