Bruckheimer previously told EW that he was eager for Depp to return to the role, despite Disney cutting ties with Depp, which the actor claimed happened as a result of the publication of a 2018 op-ed in which his ex-wife, Amber Heard, wrote that she had been a victim of domestic abuse but did not mention Depp by name.

Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in an interview with ' Weekly' that Johnny Depp may reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in an all-new 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie. There's just one catch: he wants to sign off on the script and how his character is portrayed.
