Johnny is reportedly contemplating a return to one of his iconic roles: Captain Jack Sparrow.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer shared that he’s been in discussions with Johnny about reprising the beloved character in a potential sixth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Bruckheimer commented, “If he likes the way the part’s written, I think he would do it. It’s all about what’s on the page, as we all know.”
Talks for this sixth movie have been in the works since 2019, and reports suggest that this new installment would act as a reboot.
“It’s a reboot, but if it was up to me, he would be in it,” Bruckheimer expressed. “I love him. He’s a good friend. He’s an amazing artist, and he’s a unique look. He created Captain Jack. That was not on the page; that was him doing a little Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. That was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow.”
This reboot would mark the first Pirates film since 2017’s *Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales*, which featured Johnny alongside Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley.
Bruckheimer mentioned that the script for the reboot is still being finalized. “We haven’t quite gotten there yet, but we’re close,” he said.
Well, what do you think about it? I personally don’t believe anything about it until it is really confirmed by Johnny himself or we see him on set.
Also, Disney has yet to apologize to Johnny about how they cancelled him (plus all those Alpacas). Remember his words in court!
