## Summary

Johnny Depp says he is open to returning as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, after previously ruling out a comeback. He told Entertainment Tonight that he would consider it if the circumstances were right and the films could end on a stronger note, making a return possible but far from certain.

Depp said he would work with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, whom he trusts and considers a close friend. The series began in 2003 and released four further films through 2017, all starring Depp; it has not continued since his dispute with Amber Heard. Depp is also due to appear in Ebenezer, scheduled for 2026, and Day Drinker, scheduled for 2027.
