Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 24, dressed as Ebenezer Scrooge, the iconic character from Charles Dickens’s "A Christmas Carol." The 63-year-old actor unveiled his transformation in heavy makeup, signaling his return to the big screen ahead of the release of his upcoming film, *Ebenezer*.

The movie marks Depp’s notable comeback after a period away from major Hollywood roles. The trailer, released online during the event, quickly gained traction, amassing over five million views within 14 hours. The opening line of the trailer—"It’s good to be back"—appears to acknowledge the actor’s recent absence from the industry.

*Ebenezer* is scheduled for release on November 13. Depp’s portrayal of the classic Dickens character is expected to draw significant attention as the actor returns to a leading role in a high-profile film project.
