Johnny Depp looks unrecognizable as Ebenezer Scrooge in new movie

Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday in his role as Ebenezer Scrooge. The actor arrived during a panel discussion led by directors Zach Cregger, Jonathan Goldstein, and John Francis Daley. While the panel focused on other film projects, the room lights dimmed and an announcement appeared on screen to signal his entrance.

Depp performed a monologue while dressed in character complete with a top hat and cane. He interacted with the crowd by tossing candy to attendees before exiting the stage to the sound of chains and a voice referencing Jacob Marley. This appearance served as the official debut for the trailer of his upcoming film, Ebenezer.

The movie is directed by Ti West and represents a return to major Hollywood productions for Depp. Promotional material for the film plays on his history in the industry by referencing past roles including Jack Sparrow and Edward Scissorhands. The trailer features a moment where the character states it is good to be back, which serves as a nod to the actor returning to the screen.

This event follows a series of public appearances by the actor throughout the convention. Audiences can see the full performance in theaters when the movie opens on November 13. The project marks a significant step in his film career.
