Johnny Depp’s franchise can indeed get the perfect ending with this fan-made plot for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Shared on Reddit by Emeraldsinger, the fan-made theory tries to bring back previous characters from the franchise and also tries to give every character a justified end.
With a Greek setting, the theory starts with Angelica (portrayed by Penélope Cruz in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), who has stolen the ship ‘Queen Anne’s Revenge’.
THE ULTIMATE PLOT TO MAKE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 6 A GREAT ENDING (Please read!) byu/Emeraldsinger inpiratesofthecaribbean
Together, she and the French Empire are looking for the long-lost city of Atlantis, which can grant “power to rule the wind and tide.” Jack Sparrow’s crew inadvertently steals a mask of the Greek god Ares that holds the map.
Angelica kidnaps Will Turner and plans to sacrifice him at Ares’ altar. However, the heroes, Elizabeth Swann, Henry Turner (their son), Carina Smyth, and Bootstrap Bill, go on to rescue Will and find a weary Jack Sparrow and get him on board.
During the confrontation in Atlantis, a redeemed Davy Jones appears and helps the heroes defeat Angelica and the French Empire. Evading his fate for decades, Jack Sparrow finally accepts the post of the Captain of the Flying Dutchman and becomes immortal, but cursed to roam the seas forever.
What has Johnny Depp Said About Returning for Pirates of the Caribbean 6?
Well, during the infamous Depp-defamation trial, Johnny Depp famously stated that he would never return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, no matter how much money they offered him.
However, in his recent comments (November 2025), the actor was asked by Entertainment Tonight on the premiere night of the film Modi, whether he would like to return to the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. His three-word answer has shocked the world.
That’d be fun.
Although the actor refused to comment further on the matter, producer Jerry Bruckheimer’s assurances seem to hint that Depp is indeed returning for another adventure on the high seas.
Why the Fanmade Plot Gives the Perfect Ending to the Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise?

Well, first off, the fan-made theory tries to bring back almost all of the characters that could be brought back. Barbossa sacrificed his life for his daughter in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, while the post-credit scene hinted that Davy Jones was still around.
With Joshame Gibbs and Jack Sparrow’s crew commanding an unbottled Black Pearl, their adventures continue at sea, while Elizabeth Swann and Henry Turner live a happy life with Will Turner when the Trident (and its subsequent curse) is broken.
Naturally, the plot does bring everyone together for a fun-filled ride (including Angelica, who Jack Sparrow marooned on an island), and also provides a redemption arc for Jack Sparrow.
Thus, the Reddit fan-made plot is actually one of the better storylines for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. The only question that remains is whether Johnny Depp is ready to return as Captain Jack Sparrow or not.
