What the expert says..
Pirates Producer Jerry Bruckheimer openly stated that he wants Depp to return in the role
Jerry Bruckheimer is the producer for the whole Pirates franchise and played a massive part in the success of the films and he has openly spoken about a potential return to the films for Johnny Depp.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Bruckheimer said, "I would love to have him in the movie. He’s a friend, a terrific actor and it’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do."
This looks like the olive branch has well and truly been offered to Depp and if we were to see another Pirates film take place it looks like we could well see him star in the role once more.
