Even though <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/johnny-depp">Johnny Depp</a> insists he’d never return to Disney’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">Pirates of the Caribbean</a>” franchise, producer Jerry Bruckheimer just said he’d “love” for the actor to star in another sequel.
Bruckheimer addressed the issue during a recent <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/jerry-bruckheimer-interview-career-top-gun-maverick-sequels-1235282900/">interview</a> with The Hollywood Reporter. 
&#8220;I would love to have him in the movie. He&#8217;s a friend, a terrific actor and it&#8217;s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do,&#8221; the 79-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">studio executive</a> confirmed. 
The interviewer asked whether Disney would agree to have Depp “front and center&#8221; after he won the defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard. The actor was allegedly let go from the franchise after Heard’s abuse claims went public.
&#8220;You&#8217;d have to ask them,” he replied. “I can&#8217;t answer that question. I really don&#8217;t know.” Bruckheimer did say that it would be impossible to lose the film’s most popular character. As for whether they were planning to kill off Jack Sparrow, he said, &#8220;You can&#8217;t. We tried to kill him. It didn&#8217;t work.&#8221;
But even if Bruckheimer would have him, it seems unlikely that Depp would return to the franchise so easily. The actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-made-up-johnny-depps-rep-denies-rumors-hell-return-to-pirates-of-the-caribbean-franchise">testified under oath</a> during the defamation trial that he “would not take another ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise role for $300 million and a million alpacas.” 
He had previously expressed hurt and anger over being dropped by Disney when the abuse claims went public.
“Captain Jack Sparrow was a character I built from the ground up and was something that I, of course, put a lot of [myself] into the character and also having worked on these films with these people and added much of myself, much of my own re-writing of the dialogue and scenes and jokes,” Depp said at the time.
“I didn’t quite understand how, after that long relationship and quite a successful relationship certainly for Disney, that suddenly I was guilty until proven innocent,” he continued. 
Depp’s rep denied rumors from earlier this year that he was returning to “Pirates.”
