Johnny Depp is set to return to major Hollywood cinema in Paramount Pictures’ upcoming film, Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, taking on the iconic role of Ebenezer Scrooge. The adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic is being described as a “thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London,” tracking one man’s eerie encounters with the past, present, and future as he searches for redemption. Actress Andrea Riseborough is also confirmed to star alongside Depp.
This project represents Depp’s first full-scale studio movie since the high-profile legal disputes with Amber Heard, which dominated headlines for years. During that period, Depp primarily focused on independent films, European tours, and art exhibitions, including his collection A Bunch of Stuff heading to Tokyo. He recently wrapped filming for Day Drinker with Penélope Cruz and is preparing for the Paramount project.
Paramount has tentatively scheduled the release of Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol for November 2026, a date eagerly awaited by fans. Insiders report that Depp has nearly finalized his role as Scrooge, signaling a major comeback in his acting career. The film is expected to bring Depp back into the spotlight of big-studio Hollywood cinema, marking a new chapter in the actor’s post-legal drama journey.
