Johnny Depp on His One Condition to Return as Jack Sparrow for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6’ - The Hollywood Reporter
Johnny Depp has expressed a willingness to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in a potential 'Pirates of the Caribbean 6' if the script and creative direction are right. He emphasized his strong professional relationship with producer Jerry Bruckheimer as a primary motivator for a possible comeback.
Why it matters
The potential return of a major star to a multi-billion dollar franchise is a significant development for Hollywood's intellectual property strategy.
Johnny Depp is open to reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow should Pirates of the Caribbean return but for one reason.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight , the actor explained what would be his motivating factor to don the pirate hat again.
“If things are exactly where they need to be with regard to how they are going to top off the Pirates franchise… the only involvement I really want to have, truly, is just to send them off on a better note,” the actor said.
