HUNK JOHNNY DEPP will net £32MILLION to star in the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

The record payout to revive the role of rogue Jack Sparrow eclipses TOM HANKS’ £29million for the Da Vinci Code sequel Angels And Demons.

A source said: “It’s a lot of swag but they just can’t make another without Sparrow.”

But Brits ORLANDO BLOOM and KEIRA KNIGHTLEY are unlikely to return.

The first three Pirates films earned Disney £1.52billion.
