Recent reports have fans supporting Johnny Depp on his decision to not return to the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ saga!
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is indeed one of Disney’s most famous and successful franchises to date. However, had it not been for Johnny Depp leading the saga as the fan-favorite notorious pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, perhaps it wouldn’t have reached these magnificent heights of fame. And then Disney made the massive mistake of firing him over his messy divorce drama.
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise
While Depp made it clear he wouldn’t return to the franchise no matter what, it occurred to fans at one point in time that Disney actually regretted its decisions and wanted him back. But recent reports about Johnny Depp being eyed for a supporting role in Pirates of the Caribbean 6 have fans already supporting him for not returning despite desperately wanting him to return.
Disney is Reportedly Eyeing Johnny Depp for a Supporting Role in POTC 6
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean
Over the years since Johnny Depp was fired from the Pirates of the Caribbean saga, there have been multiple rumors about Disney wanting him back and him wanting to return. Yet while those all focused on him returning as the lead, this most recent one doesn’t.
According to recent scoops by industry insider Daniel Richtman (@DanielRPK | X), the House of Mouse is reportedly considering having the Captain Jack Sparrow portrayer reprise his beloved role for Pirates of the Caribbean 6, but only in a supporting role (via @HollywoodHandle).
Instead, this upcoming addition to the Pirates of the Caribbean film series will reportedly be woman-led, with @RPK_NEWS1 on X previously reporting that The Bear actress Ayo Edebiri was the one notably being eyed to lead the saga (via @Hollywood Handle).
This news has especially come as a shock to those fans who were really looking forward to seeing Depp return as the cunning yet fan-favorite pirate and lead the saga once again, just like he did back in the old golden days.
Moreover, it is only true that it was The Tourist star who made sure to keep fans mesmerized with the Pirates of the Caribbean saga throughout the five movies in the film series. Thus, seeing him return but in a supporting role would not be the most ideal situation.
Plus, these reports have even those fans who wanted Johnny Depp to reprise his iconic role no matter what, supporting the actor on his decision to not return.
Fans Totally Support Johnny Depp Not Returning Despite Wanting Him Back
Johnny Depp inevitably sailed the Pirates of the Caribbean ship to success
Since it was unarguably Johnny Depp who launched the Pirates of the Caribbean saga to extraordinary heights, Disney firing him from the franchise over his messy divorce drama from former wife Amber Heard was nothing short of an incredulous mistake by the Mouse House.
This led to the Edwards Scissorhands actor announcing publicly that he would not return to the franchise even if Disney offered him ‘$300M and a million alpacas’. Nonetheless, fans still held high hopes that the House of Mouse would set things right and bring him back.
However, these recent reports have turned even fans’ moods sour about Depp’s return. After all, if Johnny Depp doesn’t lead the Pirates of the Caribbean saga as Captain Jack Sparrow, what’s even the point of the film? Thus, taking to X, here’s how they’re supporting him:
He won’t accept this, Disney treated him badly, but if he does, we’re getting the movie of the modern era.

I’m considering not going if he’s not the star
How bout that Disney

Not watching unless he is the lead

Nope, not good enough. @Disney owes him a HUGE apology 1st & admit they were wrong, & make him the main character as he always was, & if they cant make that happen, then it doesnt need to happen at all. All of him or none of him, we wont settle for in-between #NoJohnnyNoPirates pic.twitter.com/F4SwTdM8aK

For what it’s worth, if all these reports are indeed true and Disney is actually ruining the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise by continuing without Johnny Depp‘s Captain Jack Sparrow, then the saga spells nothing short of ‘D-O-O-M’ for its future.
