A fan poster for Pirates of the Caribbean 6imagines what the movie could look like if Johnny Depp returned as Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp of course starred in the first four Pirates of the Caribbean films and had a lead role in crafting the now iconic character. Despite the last movie in the franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, turning a profit, it performed worse at the box office than all previous sequels and didn’t do exceptionally well with fans or critics. Disney clearly had plans for a sequel with Dead Men Tell No Tales post-credits scene teasing Davy Jones is alive, but Pirates of the Caribbean 6 still hasn’t happened.
There are several reasons why Disney has yet to produce another sequel, but a big one is likely due to the abuse allegations levied against Depp by Amber Heard. These allegations led to him losing his role as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise and are also believed to be part of why Jack Sparrow hasn’t been seen on the big screen since 2017. Details of the court case revealed that Disney was initially willing to pay Depp $22.5 million to return as Jack Sparrow before moving the franchise in another direction. However, it seems incredibly unlikely Depp will ever return for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 after he said in court he wouldn’t work with Disney on a sequel even for “$300 million and a million alpacas.”
