Will movie actor Johnny Depp ever return as Jack Sparrow in Disney’s popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” film series?　After a six-week legal battle in Virginia, Depp won a defamation claim against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, on June 1, local time. In Hollywood, there seem to be conflicting views as to whether Depp’s credibility, which has been damaged by the series of turmoil with his ex-wife, will be restored v. Depp.

Depp may return to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series after winning the lawsuit.

An article in the web edition of the popular American information magazine “People” introduces comments from a former Disney executive who believes that Depp could return to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series after winning the lawsuit, saying that “the box-office earning potential is too great.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” series began with “The Curse of the Pirates” in 2003, followed by five films, “Dead Man’s Chest” (2006), “The World’s End” (2007), “The Fountain of Youth” (2011), and “The Last Pirate” (2017), which have made a worldwide The series is a blockbuster hit series that has grossed more than $4.5 billion at the box office worldwide.

The series is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, who recently visited Japan with Tom Cruise. He seems to be energized by the huge success of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun: Maverick,” the sequel to “Top Gun” (1986) after a 36-year hiatus. Bruckheimer is also reported to be very eager to revive Depp, the “dollar-box star” of the popular film series.

Bruckheimer also mentioned in the UK’s leading Sunday Times newspaper last month that he is preparing two sequels to the Pirates of the Caribbean series, one of which will feature Margot Robbie, who had her international breakthrough as Harley Quinn in “Suicide Squad” (2016), based on the DC Comics novel. He suggested that Margot Robbie, who had been cast in the role of Harley Quinn in the DC Comics original “Suicide Squad” (2016), but revealed that the other was a different plan.

Depp is “unlikely to come back as a star.”

On the other hand, the reason why some people believe that Depp is “unlikely to come back as a star” is that the continuation of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series fell through not only because Depp was involved in a legal battle with his ex-wife Hurd, but also because Depp’s own poor behavior in the past (drinking, being late, etc. ), which has made the studio “reluctant” to do so.

However, Depp’s portrayal of Jack Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean” has a charm that cannot be replaced by anything else, and he is also a very talented filmmaker, having produced the documentary “Shayne: Songs of a Troublesome Man the World Loves,” which was released theatrically in Japan on the 3rd of this month. It is also true that he has fans all over the world.

Depp commented after the June 1 verdict that the jury “gave me my life back” and that “the best is yet to come. Can we see the story so often told in movies, where people stumble through life but have a second chance, with Depp himself? Stay tuned for more news on the “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel project.
