Depp had played the role of the extravagant pirate Jack Sparrow from the first films of the film series in 2003 and then in the next four, Disney had decided not to renew its commitment to the franchise after the less than sensational results of Salazar's revenge in 2017 , just at the time in which the scandal on the personal life of the interpreter began to mount. Recently, however, the indiscretion had been spread that the actor's name had been seen on the call sheet of the next film in the saga, or in the list of cast summons, after that the Mickey Mouse House itself would have shown the will to mend relations with the star. According to the British tabloid The Sun, the new film would be titled A Day At The Sea with shooting beginning in February 2023.
In reality it seems that these rumors are unfounded: there is no confirmation that Disney has recalled Johnny Depp and above all it is too early for a call sheet, given that no information on the production of a new chapter is been given. Only a few weeks ago it was announced instead that the film studio had decided not to continue with the female remake of Pirates of the Caribbean which would have involved Margot Robbie. Now, therefore, it is probable that new options are being evaluated to revitalize the saga even if a return to Depp, who had also been fired with the idea of refreshing this imagery, still remains among the least probable eventualities.
