Johnny Depp

Early reactions to Ebenezer are mostly positive. Ti West's gothic take on A Christmas Carol stars Johnny Depp as Scrooge, and several critics said he is excellent in the role and praised the film's look.

It's Depp's first studio movie since his 2022 trial against Amber Heard. The cast also includes Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Daisy Ridley and Ian McKellen. Not everyone was impressed, though. One critic called it unremarkable, and another saw little fresh in the story.

Paramount releases Ebenezer in theaters on November 13.

Johnny Depp's next film, Ebenezer, hits cinemas on November 13 and may offer a clearer picture of his future in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Paramount is backing Ti West's retelling of Dickens' classic, with Depp as Scrooge, and it is his first major studio film in eight years. Projections put its opening weekend at around $22 million.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed talks with Depp about a new Pirates movie, which is being developed as a reboot. Depp has said he would want that movie to give the series a better ending.
