Johnny Depp says he is open to reprising his role as Jack Sparrow and returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, potentially including a future installment sometimes described as “Pirates of the Caribbean 6.” In recent interviews, he frames the idea as conditional and linked to how the films would conclude.
Across the coverage, outlets describe Depp’s openness to working again with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and his willingness to revisit the character. However, they also note that Depp has previously expressed reluctance about returning to the franchise and that he stops short of confirming he will definitely take part.
Variety emphasizes Depp’s stated motivation—wanting to “send them off on a better note”—while IGN highlights the tension between his openness now and his earlier comments about not working with Disney again. Deadline similarly focuses on the possibility of Depp returning to the universe and the goal of a stronger ending.
