Daniel Richtman is reporting that the head honchos over at Disney are very interested in having Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow, in a supporting role, for the 6th ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movie.

This is surprising news given that Disney has tried to steer far away from Depp in recent years, and the actor himself hasn’t shown much interest in returning as Captain Jack Sparrow, especially after the mouse house originally canned him.

Disney really doesn't know how to save themselves at this point. They are so incredibly creatively bankrupt...seriously.

 

[Kenpachii]

Doubt he wants to unless he really needs money. Let's be honest here latest pirate movies where simple not that great and he's a lot more older now. A support role where he just sits in the back let some new main actor take over is probably also not that great for his career so i doubt he cares.

 

[EarsOfASnake]

I hope Depp milks them for every cent he possibly can.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

They will probably offer him a boat load of money, and Depp will phone it in...

And Disney will deserve that level of performance from him, after all that stuff.

So regardless if he accepts it or not, Depp will come out looking good in either way he goes with this.

 

[DJ12]

He'll do it for the alpacas.

Would put the exclamation on his innocence with woke Disney rubber stamping it.

 

[Husky]

I want Johnny Depp back for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 too. Not in a "supporting role."

 

[AJUMP23]

Take 40 million and tank the franchise.

He should come in an play it straight and just be a difference character all together.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

"in a supporting role" ....

 

[TVexperto]

"in a supporting role" ....

for the black women as a main character with short hair

 

[John Bilbo]

I think Disney should go fuck themselves.

 

[winjer]

He should either tell Disney to sod off. Or make them bleed money to have him in the movie, for a few minutes.
Imagine Marlon Brandon's level of pay and laziness.

 

[diffusionx]

for the black women as a main character with short hair

And the whole movie is the black woman undermining and embarrassing Depp while at the end he admits she's great and he just needed to realize it, and his time is up.

It's the She-ro's Journey

 

[MayauMiao]

They want Johnny Depp in supporting role by just sitting down, talking how he regret his toxic masculinity, and possibly declare that he is pansexual.

 

[ProtoByte]

I would say no if I were him and let Disney flounder.

 

[SJRB]

Dude should ask an unholy amount of money and just phone it in. You know, like in Pirates 4. And Pirates 5.


What happened to that all-female Pirates, by the way? You know, girl power and stuff? Box-office dynamite?

 

[Salz01]

I’ll only go watch it if Amber Turd is in the movie.

 

[Saber]

It will be great seeing Disney do the Indianna Jones treatment with him(judging that they want him as a support) and they end up on heavy losses thanks to Depp demanding tons of money and nobody watching.

 

[Fake]

No supporting role or gtfo.

 

[DKehoe]

Six? Fucking hell.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The only good PotC movie was the first one

Depp can just tell Disney to go fuck themselves, nobody wants Jack Sparrow as a "supporting character" who gets told to sit down and think about his privilege from a strong black lesbian transwoman pirate who is the lead character

 

[Valonquar]

It must really suck to be a young actor. Hollywood is more interesting in paying millions for old dudes paired with shit writing killing them off.

 

[lmimmfn]

This is it, Depp going to identify as female

He was more of a supporting character in the first one. Aka the only good one. I know what they mean here though. He's going to be a second fiddle to a more diverse and powerful woman. Not that we didn't have those in the original trilogy but it wasn't good enough!

 

[Pagusas]

How many alpacas are they offering?

I have seen 3 movies with black women as leads in my entire life: Sister Act, Alien vs Predator, and Jackie Brown. Out of hundreds of movies. Is there some alternate reality you guys live in where they are taking all the roles?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Johnny Depp has never been in a good Pirates of the Caribbean movie because there are no good Pirates of the Caribbean movies. They're all cape ****.

I don't know but I'm furious about it, they should have done it, it would have been fucking hilarious.

But Johnny asking them a ridiculous sum of money and the movie still tanking because Disney is creatively bankrupt its still pretty funny

For Karen Gillen as his daughter Red.

Disney doesn't learn anything from their previous mistakes.

“Disney is reportedly considering Ayo Edebiri for the leading role in ‘Pirates 6,’ a film that would feature a younger cast of pirates in search of hidden treasure. The character she is being considered for is named Anne and it’s possible this character could be based on real-life pirate, Anne Bonny, who was an Irishwoman.”

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

IIRC he mentioned during the trial that he wasn't interested in ever working with disney again, I remember there being such an exchange during the trial, how he felt betrayed etc.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

"they're the same picture"

 

[Mobilemofo]

He should appear as jack sparrows unknown, but equally cunning, if less mobile, brother, Brian Sparrow. Older, fatter, wiser.

I hope he force them to include a joke about a dog stepping on a bee.

It was great.

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

i hope disney will go bankrupt soon

 

[ahtlas7]

I hope he sends them a ‘fuck you!’. He is Pirates of the Caribbean.
He should go find partners to make their own pirate movie. It would sink anything Disney floats and he’d make a chest of booty.

 

[SiahWester]

I thought I read this already and he turned them down because they threw him under the bus with Amber Heard's accusations. All of these people who work with companies that don't even try to retain and defend their talent in the case of mere accusations should be dismissed.

 

[Alebrije]

There is not Pirates of C. without JD

The franchise is done , Disney killed it.

Pirates of the Caribbean is capeshit? How so?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Pirates of the Caribbean is capeshit? How so?

Same exact tone, look, and dialogue to all the Marvel movies. It was always movie making by market research.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

--Johnny Depp, hopefully

 

[Putonahappyface]

Unless they offer him an eye watering amount, I hope he tells them to go fuck themselves.

 

[UltimaKilo]

--Johnny Depp, hopefully

There's always a price and seeing hoe poor Disney has been performing recently, they should offer him whatever it takes.

Then again, the script would probably entail Jack Sparrow becoming a Trans, lesbian, pink-haired pirate.

 

[AJUMP23]

hoe poor Disney

Man that is pretty low, to call them sex worker poor.

 

[YCoCg]

No. I'm guessing you watched them AFTER Marvel movies became popular?

a strong independent black lesbian trans pirate with purple hair that fights for NOT the treasure and loot but for the other oppressed strong independent black lesbians in the 17th century. She would go to preach other men how the pirate ways is antiquated while ignoring the millions of black men that gets trafficked out of Africa.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

No. I'm guessing you watched them AFTER Marvel movies became popular?

X-Men and Spiderman came out before the first Pirates movie. They were all the same. Even as a young boy, I never fell under the spell of such shlock.
