Johnny Depp says he'd return as Jack Sparrow to 'send them off on a better note'
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
On the Ebenezer press tour, Johnny Depp told Entertainment Tonight he is open to putting the pirate coat back on for a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film, but only to top the franchise off properly. 'The only involvement I really want to have, truly, is just to send them off on a better note,' he said, adding he would work with Jerry Bruckheimer again tomorrow. Bruckheimer has said Disney is still working on a screenplay and talking to Depp; no deal is locked.
Should Jack Sparrow sail one last time, or leave the hat on the hook?
