However, the fans did not give up hope of Johnny Depp returning as Captain Jack Sparrow. A fan-made poster went viral in which Depp is seen as Captain Jack Sparrow for the upcoming film ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack’s Revenge’.

In a darker twist, join Jack as he sets sail to dismantle the governors one by one, leaving them plundered and shattered.”

Will Depp Return To ‘The Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Franchise?
Although the fans loved Johnny Depp in the pirate costume, Disney decided to drop the actor from the future ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ projects, which reportedly are in development for a sixth film. Disney’s decision reportedly came from the fear his reputation may tarnish the family-friendly nature of the franchise. Depp was also let go from Warner Bros.’ ‘Fantastic Beasts’ franchise for a similar reason.
During his stand in Depp’s defamation case against Amber Heard, he clearly stated that he had no interest in returning to the franchise, especially due to his strained relationship with Disney.
