Johnny Depp returns to Hollywood with the first trailer for ‘Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol’, marking his long-awaited return to major studio films. The Paramount production casts Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge in a darker reimagining of Charles Dickens’ timeless Christmas classic directed by Ti West.
The trailer showcases Depp wearing dramatic makeup and period costumes while confronting supernatural spirits and embracing Scrooge’s unforgettable transformation journey. Its closing moment features Depp smiling before delivering the emotional line, “It’s good to be back,” delighting longtime fans worldwide.
The highly anticipated film also stars Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley, and Andrea Riseborough in important supporting roles throughout the story. Paramount has scheduled the theatrical release for November 13, 2026, positioning the adaptation as a major holiday season attraction.
Depp stepped away from major Hollywood productions following highly publicized legal battles and industry fallout between 2016 and 2022. Warner Bros. removed him from the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ franchise after the actor lost his United Kingdom libel lawsuit during 2020.
His courtroom victory in the 2022 United States defamation trial helped rebuild public support and revive career opportunities across the entertainment industry. Johnny Depp returns to Hollywood after focusing on independent and international productions before securing this high-profile studio comeback alongside acclaimed performers.
