Johnny Depp has made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con in character as Ebenezer Scrooge, marking his return to the Hollywood limelight. Depp greeted fans in full costume and makeup as the Dickensian antihero.
The actor's appearance comes as the first trailer drops for Ebenezer, a star-studded Christmas movie that also features Ian McKellen, Daisy Ridley, and Rupert Grint. Depp's role in Ebenezer is seen as his big Hollywood comeback, following a nearly decade-long hiatus from major Hollywood parts.
Depp's return to the spotlight has sparked speculation about his future projects, including the possibility of reprising his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. A positive response to Ebenezer, set to release on November 13, may influence Disney's decision to bring Depp back to the franchise.
