Johnny Depp ScroogeJohnny Depp to star as Scrooge in Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol! There has been talks about a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie for some time, but fans insist they want to see Johnny Depp reprise his iconic role, Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Pirates of the Caribbean fan favorite has officially been cast as none other than Ebenezer Scrooge in Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless 1843 classic. Director Ti West is also on board!

According to Entertainment Weekly, Paramount Pictures is in final negotiations to bring the project to life, giving fans a fresh take on the story of redemption, ghosts, and Christmas spirit. Sounds like this is shaping up to be a holiday film worth keeping an eye on! Paramount aims to release the film Nov. 13, 2026. That date positions Ebenezer against an untitled Blumhouse horror project, coming a week after Warner Bros.’ animated Cat in the Hat and a week prior to Lionsgate’s star-studded Hunger Games prequel Sunrise on the Reaping.
