The actor stayed in character as he unveiled the first trailer for Ti West's upcoming film Ebenezer. Johnny Depp surprised fans at San Diego Comic-Con by appearing in full costume as Ebenezer Scrooge to promote his upcoming film Ebenezer which is set for cinemas this November. The unannounced appearance began outside the convention in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter, where Paramount recreated an 1880's British Christmas village complete with a "Scrooge and Marley" storefront. Directed by Ti West (X, Pearl and MaXXXine), Ebenezer offers a gothic reimagining of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The film stars Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Rupert Grint, Andrea Riseborough, Sam Claflin, Daisy Ridley and Charlie Murphy.
