Highlights

• Johnny Depp is in talks to reprise Captain Jack Sparrow in the sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film
• Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirmed discussions are taking place as work continues on the screenplay
• The new film is reportedly expected to centre on Margot Robbie’s character, potentially moving Sparrow into a supporting role

The biggest surprise about Johnny Depp’s possible return to Pirates of the Caribbean may not be that Jack Sparrow is coming back. It is that he may no longer be the pirate at the centre of the story.

After years of uncertainty over the sixth film, producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that discussions are under way with Depp. Speaking to Deadline at D23, Bruckheimer said, “We’re talking with Johnny, we’re working on a screenplay, and hopefully we can get this done.”
