Disney Interested in Johnny Depp for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6’

Disney is reportedly interested in having Johnny Depp return as Captain Jack Sparrow for a supporting role in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6,’ as confirmed by insider Daniel Richtman on Patreon.

As previously reported, the new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film is set to feature a female protagonist, with Ayo Edebiri being considered for the role of Anne. The movie is aiming for a younger cast of pirates as they embark on a quest for hidden treasure.

According to reports, Depp is reportedly open to returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and Disney is reportedly considering working with him again for another film.

Craig Mazin, creator of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ series, is teaming up with Ted Elliott, writer of the first four ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ films, for the upcoming movie.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Mazin said, “We pitched it and thought there’s no way they’re buying it; it’s too weird. And they did! And then he wrote a fantastic script, and the strike happened, and everyone’s waiting around.”

‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6’ is scheduled to hit theaters in 2026.
