Johnny Depp Reveals If He'll Play Jack Sparrow Again in Another 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Movie

Johnny Depp is opening up about his future with Disney.

Earlier this week, the 58-year-old actor took to the stand once again amid his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.

As he was cross-examined by the 35-year-old actress’ attorney, Johnny was asked about the rumors that Disney is done working with him and that he will not be reprising his role as Jack Sparrow in another Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

According to Variety, Johnny said that it “doesn’t surprise me” when asked about the rumors that Disney no longer wants to work with him.

“Two years had gone by of constant worldwide talk about me being this wife beater,” Johnny added. “So, I’m sure that Disney was trying to cut ties to be safe. The #MeToo movement was in full swing at that point.”

Amber‘s attorney later asked if he would ever return to the Pirates movie franchise.

“The fact is, Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas,” Amber‘s attorney Ben Rottenborn asked. “Nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a Pirates of the Caribbean film? Correct?”

Johnny replied, “That is true, Mr. Rottenborn.”

Johnny then pointed out that while Disney might be done with him, they are not yet done profiting off of him and Jack Sparrow.

“They didn’t remove my character from the rides,” Johnny said. “They didn’t stop selling dolls of Captain Jack Sparrow. They didn’t stop selling anything. They just didn’t want there to be something trailing behind me that they’d find.”

Johnny first made his debut as Jack Sparrow in the 2003 movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. He starred in four more Pirates movies, most recently with 2017′s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

A sixth Pirates movie is reportedly in the works, and it appears as if Johnny will not be starring in it.
