Johnny Depp return to Pirates of the Caribbean welcomed by producer - after actor was axed from lead role over Amber Heard abuse allegations


Pirates of the Caribbean screenwriter and producer Terry Rossio told DailyMail.com he would happily cast Depp in a reboot of the film after the actor was ostracized from Hollywood.

Screenwriter and producer of the swashbuckling franchise Terry Rossio tells DailyMail.com that now that Depp has cleaned up his act he would be welcomed back with open arms. Rossio, 63, said casting the controversial Hollywood star is 'not the problem' for a sequel – it is finding the right script, co-stars and finances to revive the Disney-owned franchise, which has grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide. Rossio, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Shrek, added that Disney should not just look at Depp returning, but attempt to bring back the main cast from the original Oscar-nominated debut Pirates movie Dead Man's Chest.
