Who doesn’t love Johnny Depp? And even though the Pirate movies are getting longer and more tiresome which each film, its still kind of exciting to see him return to his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, for a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean. The way the franchise is going the fourth film will be 6-hours long and have 20 pirate ships instead of four. Just kidding read below for more details. Depp also announced he will be playing the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, (surprise, surprise) and Tonto in Jerry Bruckheimer’s Lone Ranger.

According to Variety via MTV.com“Depp has signed on for a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film, returning to the franchise that has earned a combined $2.6 billion at the box office. Although he previously hinted that he’d be open to setting sail again in his most iconic role, it is largely believed that it will be a solo journey, as “Pirates” co-stars Bloom and Keira Knightley have insisted they’re finished with the franchise. Last year’s “At World’s End” concluded with Sparrow setting sail for the Fountain of Youth, likely hinting at the solo adventure soon to come.”
