Pirates of the Caribbean 6

For years, fans of Pirates of the Caribbean have been eager to see Captain Jack Sparrow return to the big screen, and now, speculation is mounting that Disney may finally be ready to bring Johnny Depp back for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. While there has been no official confirmation, recent industry rumors suggest that discussions between Depp and Disney have taken a surprising turn, possibly paving the way for his long-awaited comeback.

Following Depp’s high-profile legal battles and his departure from the franchise in 2018, Disney seemed to have set course for a fresh reboot of Pirates of the Caribbean with a new cast. However, despite attempts to move forward without Jack Sparrow—including a scrapped spinoff project with Margot Robbie—momentum on the franchise has stalled. Now, insiders claim that Disney executives may be reconsidering Depp’s return, especially in light of overwhelming fan support and the box office success of other legacy sequels.

Recent reports indicate that a new script is in development, and while details remain tightly guarded, sources suggest that the film would explore a darker, more personal journey for Jack Sparrow. Some insiders even claim that Depp has been approached for early talks, though neither Disney nor the actor has publicly confirmed any negotiations.
