"Pirates of the Caribbean" producer Jerry Bruckheimer would "love" to have Johnny Depp return to film series

Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer behind "Pirates of the Caribbean" and many other blockbuster films, said he would "love" to have Johnny Depp return to the "Pirates" franchise, reprising his role as Jack Sparrow. 

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bruckheimer was asked if the outcome of Depp's defamation trial with Amber Heard would lead Disney to put Depp back in the film series. 

Depp sued Heard, his ex-wife, for libel and Heard counter-sued. Their case played out in a high profile and weeks-long trial earlier this year, during which Depp claimed Heard ruined his reputation when she penned a 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post in which she said she was abused.
