Johnny Depp’s reign as Jack Sparrow might not be over just yet, as a former Disney executive believes that the actor can<\/em> return as his signature character in the next \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely believe post-verdict that Pirates is primed for rebooting with Johnny as Capt. Jack back on board, \u201dthe former Disney exec, who wasn’t named, told PEOPLE. “There is just too much potential box-office treasure for a beloved character deeply embedded in the Disney culture.”<\/p>\n

Depp hasn’t played Jack Sparrow since 2017 when he made what would appear to be his final turn as Sparrow in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” Although it grossed $ 794.8 million worldwide, it was still well below the $ 1.04 billion that its 2011 predecessor, \u201cOn Stranger Tides,\u201d had grossed.<\/p>\n

Last month, however, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said in a wide-ranging interview with The Sunday Times that it is unlikely \u201cat this point\u201d that Depp would return to a potential sixth \u201cPirates of the Caribbean\u201d movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot at this point,\u201d he said when asked about Depp. “The future is yet to be decided.”<\/p>\n

Instead, the 78-year-old Bruckheimer said he’s trying to rebuild the nearly two-decades-old \u201cPirates\u201d franchise around a new protagonist, ideally played by Margot Robbie. \u201cWe’re developing two ‘Pirates’ scripts. One with her, one without di lei, \u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

Post-verdict, TheWrap talked to multiple Hollywood insiders who said that while Depp may work again, he won’t be starring in studio blockbusters.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo A-list movie is going to hire him the way they used to,\u201d one top veteran studio executive said of Depp. “He was a pain in the ass before the trial, always. And what he’s proven is he’s still a pain in the ass. “<\/p>\n
