Jerry
Bruckheimer
has
recently
opened
up
about
Johnny

possible
return
to

franchise
as
Jack
Sparrow.
During

interview
with
The
UK
Times,

up
about

film
Top
Gun
Maverick
and

possible
return.
Jerry
confessed
that
he
has
not
completely
ruled
out
the
changes
of
Johnny
Depp's
return
to
the
franchise.
Notably,
Depp
has
claimed
that
Disney
removed
him
from
Pirates
6
after
Amber
Heard's
accusation
of
domestic
violence.
He
had
revealed
that
he
originally
wanted
to
give
the
character
a
"proper
goodbye".
He
told
the
jury,
"There's
a
way
to
end
a
franchise
like
that...I
planned
on
continuing
until
it
was
time
to
stop."
Bruckheimer
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." Margot's
Pirates
film
was
first
announced
in
2020.
Talking
about
Depp's
Jack
Sparrow
he
revealed
the
character
has
not
been
added
currently.
He
was
quoted
by
the
paper,
"Not
at
this
point,
[but]
the
future
is
yet
to
be
decided."
Meanwhile,
in
court,
Deep
claimed
that
he
would
never
return
to
the
Pirates
franchise.
Under
cross-examination
from
Aquaman
star
Heard's
lawyer
Ben
Rottenborn,
Depp
opened
up
about
how
Hollywood
has
'boycotted'
him.
When
the
lawyer
asked,
"The
fact
is,
Mr.
Depp,
if
Disney
came
to
you
with
$300
million
and
a
million
alpacas,
nothing
on
this
earth
would
get
you
to
go
back
and
work
with
Disney
on
a
Pirates
of
the
Caribbean
film?
Correct?"
Depp
replied,
"That
is
true,
Mr.
Rottenborn."
The
Pirates

the
Caribbean
