Is Johnny Depp return to PIRATES OF CARIBBEAN?

Johnny Depp's potential return to Pirates of the Caribbean remains up in the air. Over the past few years, Depp’s involvement with the franchise has been under scrutiny for a variety of reasons. As it stands, it might still be too early to tell, but recent events can be used to draw some sort of conclusion.

While Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow was one of the biggest reasons behind Pirates of the Caribbean taking off as a franchise, his continued involvement has been rather uncertain in recent years.
However, following Depp’s allegations against Heard and the Depp v. Heard trial, public opinion has greatly shifted in Depp’s favor to the point that many people have expressed interest in seeing Depp appear in movies again.
However, despite his long connection with the series, much of the evidence – not least from Depp himself – currently indicates that he will not be returning. Here's what the future may hold for Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp.
