Johnny Depp played Jack Sparrow in all five “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, including “Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl” (2003), “Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” (2006), ” Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End” (2007), “Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (2011), and “Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” (2017).
However, due to allegations by his ex-wife, Amber Heard, Disney fired the actor and Depp will not return to the sixth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
Although Depp won’t be returning as Captain Jack Sparrow, a new trend is emerging as Halloween costume shops see an uptick in sales for Depp’s famous pirate character.

It seems that the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial only increased Depp’s popularity, especially since the trial was considered a victory for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actress. A jury found Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp by publicly accusing him of domestic abuse, and found Depp proved Heard lied about her allegations.
Now, months after the trial ended, fans continue to support Depp — so much so that they want to dress up as his character for Halloween.
According to reports, Halloweencostumes.com recorded a 90% jump in sales in relation to Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow costume. The Halloween costume shop has several different Jack Sparrow costumes to choose from, ranging from $85 to $299. Halloween is almost upon us, and Depp fans have cleared out over 85% of the costumes.

During the defamation trial of his ex-wife, Amber Heard, Heard’s lawyer, Ben Rottenborn, asked Depp, while Depp was on the witness stand, “The fact is, Mr. Depp, if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing on earth Is this what will make you come back and work with Disney on the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie? Really?”
Depp confirmed he would not be returning as Jack Sparrow, “That’s right, Mr. Rottenborn.”
Currently, Depp is not returning to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise for the sixth installment. Margot Robbie is now set to star in the title role.

Johnny Depp has been in the news of late, mainly due to a lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, 35, who he sued for defamation after she wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, in which she referred to herself as a “figure public representing domestic abuse.”
Due to Heard’s allegations, Depp’s career has taken several hits. First, Warner Bros.’ “The Fantastic Beasts” franchise dropped the actor from the film and recast him with Mads Mikkelson. Later, the Walt Disney Company fired Depp from his iconic role as Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.
During the trial, many witnesses took the stand, including Johnny Depp and Amber Heard herself. Stories are told and pictures are shown as thousands watch the trials each day.
One of the stories that got a lot of attention was the story of Depp allegedly losing his finger during a fight with Heard. Depp said he lost part of his middle finger as a result of injuries he witnessed inflicted on Heard’s hand after she threw a vodka bottle at him.
