Johnny
Depp
is
currently
celebrating
his
win
in
the
$50
million
defamation
trial
against
ex-wife
Amber
Heard.
In
the
suit,
the
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
actor
had
claimed
that
Heard's
accusations
of
domestic
and
sexual
violence
affected
his
career
negatively.
However,
now
a
former
Disney
executive
has
claimed
that
after
the
court
win,
Depp
could
return
as
Jack
Sparrow.
After
having
lost
the
sixth
film
in
the
Pirates
franchise,
the
actor
in
court
said
that
he
was
working
on
giving
the
character
a
good
farewell
but
was
heartbroken
when
he
was
removed
from
the
upcoming
film.
With
the
court's
verdict
in
his
favour
the
actor
now
could
return
as
Jack
Sparrow
once
again.
A
former
Disney
executive
has
opened
up
about
Jack
Sparrow's
possible
return
and
told
People
Magazine,
"I
absolutely
believe
post-verdict
that
Pirates
is
primed
for
rebooting
with
Johnny
as
Capt.
Jack
back
on
board.
There
is
just
too
much
potential
box-office
treasure
for
a
beloved
character
deeply
embedded
in
the
Disney
culture."
He
added,
"With
[producer]
Jerry
Bruckheimer
riding
high
on
the
massive
success
of
Tom
Cruise
in
Top
Gun:
Maverick,
there
is
huge
appetite
for
bringing
back
bankable
Hollywood
stars
in
massively
popular
franchises."
Notably,
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
is
already
undergoing
a
reboot
led
by
Margot
Robbie
with
screenwriter
Christina
Hodson
Birds
of
Prey.
Bruckheimer
had
confirmed
that
the
next
Pirate
film
is
currently
still
in
development.
He
said,
"Yes.
We're
talking
to
Margot
Robbie.
We
are
developing
two
Pirates
scripts
-
one
with
her,
one
without."
On
the
other
hand,
Depp
while
on
the
stand
told
the
court
that
he
will
not
return
to
the
franchise
even
if
Disney
paid
him
$300
million
for
the
role
of
Jack
Sparrow.
