\n\tIf you looked closely amid the cosplayers walking the streets of San Diego this afternoon, you might have found a familiar face hidden under old-age makeup.<\/p>\n

\nJohnny Depp appeared as Ebenezer Scrooge, the classic Charles Dickens character he plays in his Hollywood comeback vehicle, Ebenezer<\/em>. Appropriately, it took place in front of the Gaslamp Quarter pop-up shop Scrooge and Marley.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis appearance was not announced ahead of time, and the movie has no panel at Comic-Con. Still, by the time he showed up, fans had gathered, apparently having gotten wind that something might happen.<\/p>\n

\n\tLater, Depp surprised audiences in Hall H at the very end of an unrelated Directors on Directing panel to debut the trailer. It began with a line that may double as commentary on his absence from Hollywood movies for nearly a decade: \u201cIt\u2019s good to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDepp was last at Comic-Con in July 2018, when he showed up in Hall H as the titular villain in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald<\/em>. Two years later, Warner Bros. asked Depp to resign from the franchise after he lost a court case relating to his acrimonious split from ex-wife Amber Heard. In the years since, he has largely been absent from Hollywood, though he has starred in indie and international productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat is no longer the case, with Paramount\u2019s Ebenezer<\/em> arriving on Nov. 13. That will be followed by another studio movie, Lionsgate\u2019s Day Drinker<\/em>, due out in 2027. His San Diego appearance comes after he first showed off Ebenezer<\/em> in April at CinemaCon.<\/p>\n

\nX <\/em>filmmaker Ti West directs Ebenezer<\/em>, which also stars\u00a0Andrea Riseborough\u00a0as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Tramell Tillman as the Ghost of Christmas Present,\u00a0Ian McKellen\u00a0as Jacob Marley and\u00a0Rupert Grint\u00a0as Bob Cratchit.<\/p>\n

\n\tStars are known for hiding in plain sight at Comic-Con, with Bryan Cranston (wearing a Walter White mask), Jack Black (dressed as a Stormtrooper) and Henry Cavill (sporting a Guy Fawkes mask) all walking around incognito at the convention in years past.<\/p>\n
