Five years after his last film, Johnny Depp is at last returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean series and will be playing swashbuckling favorite Jack Sparrow once more.
The Disney property fired the Hollywood actor in 2018 after executives claimed they wanted to inject "fresh energy" into the show.
However, months after he won his high-profile legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard, 36, in June, his former employers have changed their minds and are now eager to have him back for a sixth film and a Disney Plus spin-off series in a $300 million deal.
Depp is due to have a test shoot in the UK in February according to a new call sheet from production, and the working title of the film is said to be A Day At The Sea.
A source told The Sun;
“Johnny is set to return as Captain Jack Sparrow and is scheduled to start filming at the beginning of February at a top secret location in the UK.
“Everything is in the early stages and there is still no director attached to the project, which is being called A Day At The Sea.”
Bruce Hendricks, who worked on the first three films, has been named as an executive producer on the new project, however other details have been kept a secret.
The source added;
“The whole project is shrouded in secrecy and Disney want to keep everything under wraps as best they can.”
It was also learnt that Disney want the actor to reprise his iconic role in not just the sixth film, but also a spin-off series exploring the character’s backstory.
