Johnny Depp returns to Hollywood starring as Ebenezer Scrooge in 'Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol,' a dark, horror-fantasy adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novella directed by Ti West. The film, set for theatrical release on November 13, features a cast including Ian McKellen, Andrea Riseborough, Daisy Ridley, Rupert Grint, and others. The trailer shows Depp's Scrooge haunted by Christmas spirits and exhibiting a grumpy, cantankerous demeanor. Depp's role marks his first major Hollywood film since his 2022 legal battle with Amber Heard. He also promoted the film at San Diego Comic-Con in character.
