Depp excited about next 'Pirates' outing

Johnny Depp is "excited" about 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4'. The actor - who plays Captain Jack Sparrow in the franchise - is also set to play Tonto in a new 'Lone Ranger' movie but Disney chiefs are first committed to making the swashbuckling adventure their biggest "priority."

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said: "It's a great franchise for them and for us, too. We love the character and Johnny was really excited about coming back to Captain Jack. He certainly is interested in Tonto, but Disney's priority is to get 'Pirates.' made first. You never know what's going to happen, but they would like it."
