Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is likely to make a return as the beloved Captain Jack Sparrow, as suggested by franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

In a recent interview, Bruckheimer opened up about having discussions with Depp about a new "Pirates" film, and he feels optimistic.

"If he likes the way the part's written, I think he would do it. It's all about what's on the page, as we all know... We are still working on a screenplay. We want to make it. We just have to get the right screenplay. We haven't quite gotten there yet, but we're close," the producer said, as quoted by Variety.
