John Christopher Depp II, better known as Johnny Depp, an American actor, will not be returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Rumors began to circulate on Wednesday, according to the DailyMail, when a story claimed he would be reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
According to the rumor, Johnny Depp's name was seen on a call sheet for a new installment of the highly successful film series.
However, five years after his last film, Depp will not be returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to reprise his role as the swashbuckling favorite, Jack Sparrow.
Depp last played the dashing hero in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017, when the series' creators decided to inject some "fresh vitality" into the highly successful film franchise.
Depp was fired from the Disney franchise in 2018 because the executives wanted to give the show "fresh energy."
However, it was reported earlier this year that executives wanted to re-sign him to a $300 million contract that included a sixth film and a Disney Plus spin-off series.
