ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Avast! Disney says a new Pirates of the Caribbean film is on yonder horizon.

Johnny Depp sailed onstage Thursday on a pirate ship in Anaheim, Calif., to help announce the forthcoming installment of Disney's blockbuster film franchise.

Depp will reprise his role as Capt. Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, slated for summer of 2011. It's the fourth in a series.

Chairman of Walt Disney Studios Richard Cook announced the news to about 5,000 fans on hand for D23, Disney's answer to Comic-Con. The first all-things-Disney convention runs through the weekend.

The popular actor will next be seen on the big screen in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus - which will have it's North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 18, 2009.
