Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, directed by Ti West is the film to watch out for in Dec 2026 as it will star Johnny Depp in the lead as Ebenezer Scrooge on his return to a major film role in Hollywood. This has been a long time coming, and after the disastrous legal battle he has had with Amber Heard, I think Depp won't mess up this chance when he comes back to the limelight.

I understand, a Christmas comedy isn't Pirates of the Caribbean, but it is a great first step in a comeback that many people would love to see. It is so sad however, that some people still consider him an evil wife beater, which is why he hasn't hit major mile stones since his court win. I would really love to see him at his best again though bacause the guy is truly ta

Yeah this is the first move that actually feels like a real Depp comeback. It’s not Pirates-level hype, but Ti West doing a Christmas Carol with Depp as Scrooge is honestly a great re-entry play: low risk, still prestige-ish, and lets him show he can carry something again.

People are never going to agree on the Amber stuff, that part is just permanent background noise now. The only thing that changes the narrative is him showing up on screen and crushing a few roles in a row. I’m just curious to see if he still has what it takes.

I’m interested, but I’m curious how everything over the past few years has affected him. Wasn’t he doing really bad health wise like earlier this year? He’s an undeniable talent that can hopefully make a comeback.

He was. But I just want to see him back, you know! Whichever version of him

Oh, for sure. He’s made some bangers over the years. There was a time where everything he was in was worth seeing. It would be cool to see him restore that former glory.
