SEA OF THIEVES: PREDICTED JACK SPARROW VOICE ACTOR – IT’S NOT JOHNNY DEPP
Microsoft and Bethesda’s E3 showcase was a fantastic showing of trailers, and one of the biggest surprises was Pirates of the Caribbean DLC for Sea of Thieves which features an incredible impersonation of Jack Sparrow that has resulted in people genuinely wondering if the voice actor is Johnny Depp.
The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover is coming next week and will feature other characters in addition to the iconic goofball captain. There will be Davy Jones with his tentacle beard, and this means there will also be the terrifying Flying Dutchman.
All of it looks incredible for fans of the game and movie series, and even better news is that it’s a free update.
The release date for the Sea of Thieves x Pirates of the Caribbean DLC is June 22nd.
It comes as part of season three for the Microsoft exclusive, and – despite how huge the crossover is – it’s an entirely free update for all players to enjoy.
SEA OF THIEVES PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN CHARACTERS
Characters confirmed for the DLC include Captain Jack Sparrow as well as his arch enemy Davy Jones who comes with the Flying Dutchman and its grotesque crew.
Another confirmed character from the movies is Gibbs, but there doesn’t appear to be Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner or Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth.
While there are returning characters from the films, know that the DLC is an original story by Rare. The official post on Rare’s website says that they worked closely with Disney and that fans will visit locations from both the films as well the theme park attraction.

DOES JOHNNY DEPP VOICE JACK SPARROW IN SEA OF THIEVES?
Johnny Depp is not the voice actor for Jack Sparrow in the Sea of Thieves x Pirates of the Caribbean DLC.
However, while he is not the voice actor, the game does use his likeness to great effect. In addition, the unannounced voice double does a fantastic job of replicating his mannerisms and quirks.
While Johnny Depp isn’t involved with the DLC, it’s possible that the voice is instead Jared Butler. He brought the Pirates of the Caribbean protagonist to life in Kingdom Hearts 3, and he also voiced him in Disney Infinity.
Jared Butler also voiced the character in the At World’s End and Online games in 2007, meanwhile James Arnold Taylor voiced Jack Sparrow in Kingdom Hearts 2.
We predict that the voice actor of Jack Sparrow in Sea of Thieves is Jared Butler because he’s played him in most other games apart from KH2, and it’s unlikely James Arnold Taylor will ever become the captain again as he confirmed back in 2018 that he lost the role.
