For anyone pining for Depp\u2019s return to the <em>Pirates of the Caribbean <\/em>franchise, he appears to be playing virtually the same character in this film, except he\u2019s swapped his sword, beach braids, and bandana for a top hat, scarf, and grey scruff.<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p><em>Ebenzer<\/em> promises a brand new take on <em>A Christmas Carol<\/em>, so at least there\u2019s that.
