Johnny Depp in advanced talks for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean' 6: Report

Johnny Depp is reportedly in “advanced talks” to return for a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film, claimed an insider.

According to The Express, the deal of Depp reprising his role as Jack Sparrow following his 2022 libel case win against ex-wife Amber Heard is “very close to being a done deal.”

While the news is yet to be confirmed, the film would mark a major comeback for the actor, who has largely stayed away from major Hollywood projects since his high-profile legal battle with Heard.

The report claimed Depp was in “advanced talks” for the sixth instalment of the blockbuster film.

Quoting a senior executive show, the source said, “It’s very close to being a done deal.”

Meanwhile, another insider told In Touch Weekly that Depp is working on a new thriller called Day Drinker with long-time co-star Penélope Cruz.

“This is a long time coming for Johnny,” they said. “he was quite literally in exile. But his win at trial over Amber opened the door for him to slowly rebuild his reputation and start working again.

“He started with foreign productions and now he’s back in the Hollywood fold, “the source added.

Depp is “working with Penélope Cruz at the moment, which is fantastic because he has a great rapport and history with her, they go back decades.”
