Some Christmas movies arrive quietly. This one arrived with Johnny Depp in full Scrooge mode — and Toledo, your nostalgia stack just got stacked.

Depp walked the red carpet on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, at the global premiere of Ebenezer at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, alongside director Ti West and co-stars Rupert Grint, Sam Claflin, Tramell Tillman, Ellie Bamber and Robert Strong.

The film is West’s horror-tinged take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, with Depp playing Ebenezer Scrooge. The cast also includes Daisy Ridley, Andrea Riseborough and Ian McKellen.

West told Deadline on the red carpet that he and Depp bonded over a shared love of Dickens and Alastair Sim’s 1951 Scrooge.

The role is being billed as Depp’s comeback after his post-trial exile from major studio films.

And here is the Toledo POV: a Christmas movie opens in just three days, with Depp, Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint and Dickens all in one package. That is a nostalgia stack — 1990s and 2000s movie memories, a beloved Christmas story and a red-carpet comeback — arriving just in time for the holidays.

Ebenezer opens in UK cinemas and US theaters on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, via Paramount.
