Johnny Depp invades Comic-Con promoting Ebenezer
The air is buzzing with anticipation for a cinematic holiday experience that promises to trade traditional cheer for gothic dread: Ebenezer, the new take on Charles Dickens’ classic tale. With its striking new poster teasing Johnny Depp’s haunted portrayal of Scrooge, the film signals a shift from cozy nostalgia to something far more chilling and atmospheric.
Coming to theaters on November 13, 2026, this is not your grandmother’s Christmas story. Director Ti West has delivered a dark, supernatural re-imagining that plunges the familiar narrative into a menacing Victorian setting. Instead of warm fuzzies, audiences are invited into a haunted, gothic horror experience exploring the deep, tormented soul behind Scrooge’s transformation.
The visual style promises to be aggressively stylish and deeply atmospheric, perfectly capturing the sense of inner turmoil that defines the miser we all know and love. It is a cinematic journey that suggests Scrooge’s story is far more complex and chilling than any traditional depiction allows.
But the magic of Ebenezer extends beyond its stunning visuals; it is bolstered by an absolutely stacked cast ready to bring the ghosts of Christmas into vivid, unforgettable life. Johnny Depp anchors the film as the iconic Ebenezer Scrooge, but he shares the screen with a constellation of incredible talent.
The supporting ensemble is phenomenal, featuring Sir Ian McKellen as Jacob Marley, Andrea Riseborough as the Ghost of Christmas Past, and Tramell Tillman as the Ghost of Christmas Present. The film also features Daisy Ridley embodying the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, alongside Rupert Grint as Bob Cratchit, Sam Claflin as Fred (Scrooge’s nephew), and the unforgettable duo Charlie Murphy and Ellie Bamber as Mr. and Mrs. Isabel Fezziwig.
This incredible collection of actors promises a rich tapestry of human emotion, ensuring that the exploration of Scrooge’s inner turmoil resonates deeply with the audience long after the credits roll.
The buzz surrounding Ebenezer has been amplified by promotional appearances, including Johnny Depp’s captivating visit to Comic-Con 2026 where he interacted with fans in character. This engagement highlights the excitement building for a major cinematic event that promises both holiday warmth and genuine psychological suspense.
As November 13, 2026 approaches, audiences will get a front-row seat to a reimagined classic—a gothic masterpiece that dares to ask what happens when miserly greed becomes a haunting destiny. Prepare for Ebenezer, where the spirit of Christmas meets the shadows of the Victorian night.
