Johnny Depp Takes on Ebenezer Scrooge in Upcoming Film in London

Renowned actor Johnny Depp (62) was seen on the streets of London filming his latest project, "Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol," where he portrays the iconic character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' 1843 novel.

Unconventional Appearance

Depp donned a loose blue and black coat over pajamas, while a team applied heavy makeup and prosthetics to alter his features significantly. His long gray hair was visible beneath a nightcap, giving him a look that diverged sharply from his previous roles.

Mysterious Characters and Classic Vibe

Actress Andrea Riseborough plays the Ghost of Christmas Past, appearing in all-white makeup and contact lenses, complemented by a flowing white dress that adds a mysterious and classic touch to the character.

Star-Studded Cast and Notable Direction

The film features a distinguished ensemble cast, including Ian McKellen, Robert Grint, Daisy Ridley, Sam Claflin, and Tramel Tillman, directed by Ti West, known for his works such as "X," "Pearl," and "MaXXXine."

Significant Comeback

This film marks Depp's first major project since "Waiting for the Barbarians" (2019) and "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" (2018), following a hiatus from Hollywood due to a high-profile defamation case involving his ex-wife Amber Heard, which concluded in his favor in June 2022.

World Premiere

Paramount Pictures is set to release the film in theaters worldwide on November 13, 2026, marking a significant return for Johnny Depp to the big screen after years of limited appearances.
