Pirates of the Caribbean 6: Beyond the Horizon – Teaser Trailer
Johnny Depp’s potential return to Pirates of the Caribbean remains up in the air. As it stands, it might still be too early to tell.
The biggest question on every fans mind regarding the next Pirates movie isn’t necessarily what the story will be – it’s whether or not Johnny Depp will come back. And the answer is that nobody knows at the moment. On the one hand, it would seem light a bit of a stretch for Depp to come back considering how poorly he was treated by the studio in the wake of what happened between him and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. However, since the truth about the controversy has been resolved and Depp’s reputation has been restored, loyal fans have been begging for Depp to return to the big-screen and give Jack Sparrow another go.
As for the studio’s opinion on Depp returning, Bruckheimer has insisted that he considers Depp a friend and that he would welcome him back into the franchise with open arms. “He’s a friend, a terrific actor.”
There was a Pirates movie in development for awhile unrelated to the previous ones that was set to star Margot Robbie as the protagonist, but this has since been canceled. Margot Robbie’s Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff was intended to be a female-led reboot set in the franchise’s universe. When Depp’s Jack Sparrow return chances improved, Robbie shared the news that the reboot was canceled.
Will & Elizabeth Turner might not have had the on-screen presence that Jack Sparrow had, but nevertheless they were key players in the original trilogy and (more importantly) had a story that was left open-ended with the conclusion of the last film. If a script for a sixth movie is truly ready, it would make plenty of sense for Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley to be the protagonists in Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
While there has been major doubt cast on Johnny Depp’s future with Pirates of the Caribbean, fans haven’t given up on seeing him again. One notable example of this comes from a Change.org petition to bring Depp back as Jack Sparrow that’s received over 800,000 signatures and is currently close to one million.
