‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Producer Spoke to Johnny Depp About Jack Sparrow’s Return in ‘Pirates 6’: ‘If He Likes the Way the Part’s Written, I Think He Would Do It’

Johnny Depp is possibly eyeing a return as Jack Sparrow in a sixth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, at least according to franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bruckheimer confirmed he has spoken to Depp about a new “Pirates” movie. The producer feels optimistic that Jack Sparrow could be back.

“If he likes the way the part’s written, I think he would do it,” Bruckheimer told EW. “It’s all about what’s on the page, as we all know… We are still working on a screenplay. We want to make it. We just got to get the right screenplay. We haven’t quite gotten there yet, but we’re close.”

Depp headlined five “Pirates” movies from 2003 to 2017, all of which grossed more than $650 million at the worldwide box office. 2006’s “Dead Man’s Chest” and 2011’s “On Stranger Tides” both topped the $1 billion mark.
