'Ebenezer' Trailer: Johnny Depp Unveils At Comic-Con As Scrooge: Watch
Johnny Depp surprised attendees at San Diego Comic-Con today by appearing in character as Scrooge. The actor arrived at the Hall H panel to debut the trailer for the upcoming film Ebenezer. Directed by Ti West, the movie offers a dark and gothic take on the classic Charles Dickens story.
Depp fully committed to the role, appearing on stage with a candle and speaking in a mumble while interacting with the audience. The trailer highlights a gritty visual style reminiscent of previous dark projects, positioning this version of the character as distinct from past cinematic adaptations. The footage shows scenes of the protagonist causing trouble in a winter setting and hints at the internal conflict central to the narrative.
The film features a large cast alongside Depp, including Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint, Sam Claflin, and Daisy Ridley. Nathaniel Halpern handled the screenplay adaptation for the movie, which is scheduled for release on November 13.
The surprise appearance mirrors past high-profile promotional stunts at the convention. The audience response was immediate as attendees reacted to the unconventional presentation and the first look at the footage. You can view the official trailer through the link shared by the production team.
