United States, Jul 24: Hollywood star Johnny Depp is set to return to the big screen with Ebenezer, marking his comeback after a prolonged hiatus. The makers have released the film's official trailer, offering audiences a first look at the highly anticipated project.

Directed by Ti West, Ebenezer is a dark reimagining of Charles Dickens' classic tale. Depp plays the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, the miserly and ill-tempered man who is haunted by the spirits of Christmas.

The trailer opens with Depp's character saying, “It’s good to be back,” before depicting his encounters with the supernatural spirits that force him to confront his past.

Sharing the trailer on Instagram, the makers announced that the film will release exclusively in theatres on November 13.

The film also stars Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley, Arthur Conti, Ellie Bamber, Charlie Murphy, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Tramell Tillman and Ian McKellen.

Ebenezer marks Depp’s return to mainstream Hollywood following his widely publicised legal battle with former wife Amber Heard, during which both were found liable for defamation in separate claims.

An acclaimed actor, Depp is the recipient of a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award and has earned multiple Academy Award and BAFTA nominations. His notable films include Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
