Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday — in his full Ebenezer Scrooge regalia.
Depp plays Scrooge in the upcoming Paramount movie, “Ebenezer,” which debuts in theaters this November. The actor appeared in outside of a shop called “Scrooge and Marley” in San Diego’s Gaslamp district around 2:30pm, but fans began congregating at the location just after noon for a sneak peek at whatever the studio had planned to promote the film.
“Have you no jobs? It seems as though you have so much spare time,” Depp as the curmudgeonly character croaked at the large crowd that assembled on the street.
While Depp’s appearance was intended to be a surprise, a few lucky fans caught sight of the star while cosplaying his more famous characters — including Captain Jack Sparrow from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and the Mad Hatter from “Alice in Wonderland.”
