Part 4/8:
Despite Disney’s initial stance, recent industry whispers suggest that the studio might be re-evaluating its position regarding Depp. Insider sources have indicated that the studio is interested in bringing the actor back, but perhaps not as a main feature — rather, in a cameo role or a supporting role in Pirates of the Caribbean 6.
The Reality of Depp’s Return
This potential supporting role is said to be part of Disney's plan to mend fences, suggesting that the studio might be prepared to quietly reinstate Depp, albeit in a limited capacity. The hope is that such a move could placate fans and mitigate some of the backlash caused by his ousting, while also ensuring the franchise’s commercial success.
