Johnny Depp Returning to Film

Furthering the trial, fans are eager to see if Depp will return to the big screen. He has recently been touring with his band, The Hollywood Vampires, but fans want to see him back in films. Specifically, returning as Captain Jack Sparrow. Depp replied in a statement to People saying;

“I keep wondering about the word comeback because I didn’t go anywhere. As a matter of fact, I live about 45 minutes away. So yeah, maybe people stopped calling out of whatever their fear was at the time. But no, I didn’t go nowhere. I’ve been sitting around.”

As Captain Jack Sparrow said, “Why fight when you can negotiate?” So maybe, just maybe, in lieu of the Captain, Depp will return as our beloved Jack Sparrow.
