Johnny Depp is reportedly in discussions to reprise his role in the upcoming sixth installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer. At Disney's D23 annual expo, Bruckheimer informed reporters that they are currently working on a screenplay for the sequel and hope to finalize it soon.
Depp's return would mark his second appearance in the series following his Oscar-nominated performance in the 2003 film "The Curse of the Black Pearl." The "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise has experienced a hiatus since the fifth movie, "Dead Men Tell No Tales," released in 2017, but recent updates have hinted at progress on the sixth entry.
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were originally chosen to write the script, but later, Craig Mazin and Ted Elliott took over. In September 2025, Bruckheimer confirmed that Margot Robbie was indeed interested in the project and that two scripts had been developed. Depp's career has seen fluctuations due to legal issues, including a defamation lawsuit in 2022 against his ex-wife Amber Heard, which ultimately settled in their favor.
