Johnny Depp's bet to return to "Pirates of the Caribbean" Johnny Depp, the actor who played the role of Captain "Jack Sparrow", did not rule out the possibility of his return to the sixth part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, but he says that he is only willing to cooperate if he can make a good and appropriate ending to this series. "The only contribution I really want to make is to help them have a better ending, if everything is exactly in place how the Pirates franchise ends," he said. Depp also said about Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of this series: I'm going to work with Jerry Bruckheimer for everything. It doesn't matter what it is; If it's Jerry, I trust him. We have a deep friendship. In the summer of 2025, Bruckheimer told Entertainment Weekly that he had spoken with Depp about making the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie and hoped that Jack Sparrow would return to that series. Depp played the lead role in five films in this series released between 2003 and 2017. _ Link
