American actor Johnny Deep is reportedly set to make a return to Pirates of the Caribbean to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
According to sources, Disney are interested in patching their relationship up with Depp and have recently reached out to him with a three hundred million dollars’ deal following his defamation trial win against ex-wife/actor Amber Heard.

In addition to that sum, Disney is also reportedly adding a sizeable donation to a charity of Depp’s choice as a gesture of goodwill.
Just so you know Johnny Deep played the lead role in five Pirates movies over the past fifteen years before Disney dropped him from the sixth installment in the wake Amber Heard’s 2018 Washington Post op-ed which Depp claimed defamed him as a domestic abuser.
The actor’s legal team claimed that he lost out on a twenty-two million dollars’ payday following the defamation post as he told the jury he would not work with Disney again after he was scrubbed from the sixth Pirates movie.
This reported comeback deal would see Johnny Depp return as Jack Sparrow in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 6’ and a spin-off Disney+ series about the early life of the Captain of the Black Pearl.
