Depp was let go from the Disney franchise in 2018 because the producers wanted to bring “new vitality” into the film. However, according to various reports from earlier this year, Executives reportedly wanted to bring Johnny Depp back, on a $300 million deal that included a sixth movie and a Disney Plus spin-off series.

Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates of the Caribbean film series is an American fantasy swashbuckler that is based on the Walt Disney theme park attraction. The franchise has made more than $4.5 billion at the worldwide box office and it is the 15th-highest-grossing film series of all time.
