The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise lovers are still hoping to have Johnny Depp as an iconic antihero Captain Jack Sparrow in the upcoming installment. But the makers of Pirates of the Caribbean 6 are tight-lipped on it. We all know, in 2020, Disney blocked all the possibilities of Johnny Depp to return to Pirates of the Caribbean 6.

The franchise is one of the biggest selling chains of Disney over the last 20 years. Johnny's performance in the first movie of Pirates of the Caribbean made him an overnight star and his popularity as Captain Jack continued to skyrocket over the next few 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies. Now the million-dollar question is will Pirates of the Caribbean 6 earn enough in the box office without Johnny Depp?

Since Disney blocked Johnny Depp’s return, they never reveled anything about the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. So, questions like who could play Jack Sparrow in the upcoming movie are still don’t have an answer.

Meanwhile, a Disney insider Daniel Richtman has recently claimed that a new key part of the Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will focus on making Captain Jack Sparrow a joke. He said, “Disney wants [the] new Pirates movie to make fun of Jack Sparrow.”
