In June 2022, a rep for the Oscar nominee denied rumors that the actor would reprise the now-iconic role for $300 million.Two months earlier, Depp’s agent alleged that his client was fired from the Disney franchise after his ex-wife Amber Heard published a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post in which she described herself as a victim of domestic abuse.

The agent claimed that Depp lost out on a $22.5 million paycheck as a result of the essay. (The Finding Neverland star sued Heard for defamation over the article and was eventually awarded $10.35 million in damages.)Pirates producer Jerry Bruckheimer, for his part, has also said that there are no plans to bring Depp back for another movie.

Had the actor appeared in a sixth film, it would likely have been his last as Jack Sparrow.Even before the op-ed, however, Disney’s production chief Sean Bailey hinted in 2018 that the sixth movie might have gone in a Sparrow-less direction.
