Actor, Johnny Depp is returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and will be reprising his role as the swashbuckling favorite, Jack Sparrow, five years after his last film.
Depp had been removed from the Disney franchise in 2018 after bosses said that they wanted to bring “new energy” to the series.
His former bosses are however now keen to have him back for a sixth movie and a Disney Plus spin-off series in a $300 million deal, months after he won his blockbuster legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, in June.
Depp is due to have a test shoot in the UK in February, and the working title of the film is said to be A Day At The Sea.
Disney wants Depp to reprise his iconic role in not just the sixth film, but also in a spin-off series exploring the character’s backstory.
