Captain Jack Sparrow will sail again. The Walt Disney Company’s film division said Wednesday that Johnny Depp, below, would star in a fourth installment of its “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. A release is still years away — Disney did not give specifics on timing or a plot — but the company intends to keep Mr. Depp busy in the meantime. He will play the Mad Hatter in a 2010 reimagining of “Alice in Wonderland,” directed by Tim Burton, and Tonto in a remake of “The Lone Ranger.” Disney also announced that Oprah Winfrey would lend her voice to “The Princess and the Frog,” an animated fairy tale featuring Disney’s first African-American princess, and that it is readying a sequel to “Tron,” the 1982 cult film about a hacker trapped inside a computer world.
