The 59-year-old actor played the role of the witty pirate for 5 movies in the franchise. But after the allegations made against the actor by his ex-wife, he was removed from the franchise.

In the interview, Bruckheimer cleverly hinted at the return of theEdward Scissorhandsactor to the franchise. Without giving any major or confirmed information, he made the fans hope for a brighter future for Depp in the future ofPirates of the Caribbean:
“We’re still working on it. Nothing’s definitive yet, but we continue to take little baby steps getting towards a screenplay.”
Now, despite the news raising quite a buzz on the internet,Johnny Depp‘s comments on his role as Jack Sparrow during the defamation trial still make his return debatable. The actor openly admitted that he would not return to the role no matter how much he is convinced. So more details are expected about the franchise to get a clear outlook on the possible return of Depp in the sixth installment. On the other hand, Jerry Bruckheimer also presented another surprise by revealing that the spin-off which was planned with Margot Robbie is also under development.

Margot Robbie told Variety in an interview that she doesn’t think Disney is interested in further working on the project.
“We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would’ve been really cool. But I guess they don’t want to do it.”
But Jerry Bruckheimer contradicted Robbie’s statement in the recent talk with AP Entertainment. He presented a light of hope for the spin-off project by suggesting that they are actively working on both the projects of the franchise.
“I think that that script will come forward at a certain point. We developed two different stories for Pirates, and the other one’s going forward first, so that’s what we’re working on, to attempt to get that one made.”
An announcement on a brand-newPiratesof the Caribbeanmovie will surely raise a storm on the internet. Even a small glimpse of Captain Jack Sparrow would be enough to drive the audience mad. But as the projects are still in their early stages, waiting is only the best alternative for everyone looking forward.
All thePirates of the Caribbeanmovies can be streamed on Disney+.
