Johnny Depp To Be Replaced In Pirates Franchise?!
Filed under: Film Flickers > Disney > Johnny Depp
We mentioned earlier this month that the departure of longtime Disney chairman and friend of Johnny Depp, Dick Cook, left the actor unsure of his future with the Pirates franchise.
He is already signed up for the the next installment, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, but the studio had planned to forge ahead with a 5th and 6th installment as well. However, there is talk that Johnny won't be returning to the franchise and it is safe to say that without Johnny, any other movies would abandon ship.
Except they're not. Buzz is that the Disney execs are planning at least another two Pirates movies, with or without Johnny.
Can you say STOOPID?!
The idea is to continue making the flicks with different pirate characters with big actor names to back them. Some of the names being tossed around are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Pattinson.
As much as we would love to see R-Patz be dirty for a film, we really don't see anyone being able to fill the shoes left by Jack Sparrow. Without him, Disney should give up on trying to squeeze money out of audiences and focus on new films/franchises for the company.
Wouldn't U agree?
WTF!!! WITHOUT JOHNNY!!!!! kidding right???? he started it he should finish it :[ although i wouldnt mind seeing my r-patz there how cute of a pirate would he be? … im sure alot of people agree ;]
"Big actor names" like Robert Pattinson? HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAA!
Lookit me! I'm a pirate! See how I sparkle in the sunlight? WHEEEEEEEEE! Wait… I mean ARRRRRRRGH!
that's dumb!!! wtf. PIRATES CANNOT CONITNUE WITHOUT JOHNNY. whats next, orlando and kiera sign out?
No, no, no! It would NEVER be the same. Not even w/ RPatz or Franco.
jack sparrow is what makes the pirates movies good. this is a dumb move on disney's part.
I agree!!
No Johnny —- No thanks
Retarded idea.
They never even should have made Pirates 2 and 3.
i dont think the pirates movies would be as good without johnny depp.
they should offer him more money lol
Fuck this. Nobody can replace Depp! No Johnny no Pirates Movie. K!
I WILL NOT WATCH THE MOVIE WITHOUT MY SEXXC PIRATE JOHNNY DEPP!
there is no way it would be the same without Johnny Depp. I don't think it would even be the same without Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley.
still, James Franco is soo gorgeous.
i sure do agree with you johnny depp is captain jack sparrow no else can play him not even robert pattinson if someone takes if place i wouldnt watch it same thing with robert and twilight which wont happen because summit cant be that stupid unless they like losing money
ONE AND ONLY JOHNNY = JACK SPARROW. NO OTHER. END OF SUBJECT.
It will fail without Johnny Depp. That's suicide.
I love Ryan and James but no one could replace Johnny,they could put other characters but still,I thin they should have stopped at Pirates 3,enough it's enough
Yeah that's pretty dumb. You can pull that shit off with less popular movies, but they'd be comitting suicide is they did it on this movie.

Re: xoxo_twilight –
I believe the last one was Kiera and Orlando's last.
So, basically they would be starting over?
Which is why they should just stop if The Deppster isn't going to be in them.
its kind of annoying how many sequels disney movies are having these days…
they should really consider Russell Brand… he would make an AMAZING pirate
ROBERT PATTINSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg its so gonna suck! BUT they should get the guy that plays on general hospital, Ethan Lovick ( i think thats his last name) he sooo reminds me of captain jack!! he's got the long hair, brown eyes and everything….even the accent! he's sexy as hell! who watches GH on here that can testify!?!?!
HOW DOES HE remain so beautiful and ageless? He's a great actor too.
I love me some Johnny but only saw the first one. I had no interest in the sequels.
Disney would just add in a new character to take forward. Sparrow would be put out to pasture. To be honest I'm tired of Depp in that role. I could see Pattinson as a young Pirate. At least he;d have the real accent. I;d hate to hear a grating american accent in a pirates role.
Re: obbie doobie! – I can! I DVR it everyday! He could be Jacks younger brother. That's the first thing I thought the day he appeared as luke's son. You are dead on. But, only as Jack's younger brother. Also you can watch him on Soapnet. I DVR because of work and i can skip the commericals. He was on GH today I believe.
Quite possibly one of the dumbest ideas.. there's no way it'll go through.. or if it does, no one will see it.. :/ what a waste
WHAT??? Pirates Of The Caribbean without Jack Sparrow is like a Nightmare On Elm Street without Freddy Kreuger. It just won't work. Jack Sparrow was the most important character in the movie, the reason why anyone saw those films in the first place.
stupid idea
If they did replace Johnny Depp I think Russel brand would be a good choice. For a start he's got the hair and the accent lol
)
coompletely agree
I wouldn't watch it w/o Depp.
I love my Johnny in pirates……if he is not in it, I would pass……although adding a young pirate…..with Johnny….I like……..Johnny and R-Pattz, I would see!
What idiots. Nobody is going to see it without Johnny. R-Patz as Jack Sparrow. GAG ME! No fucking way he could measure up.
Nooo are they stoopid? It won't be the same without Jack Sparrow, that character is iconic by now! And yes add Robert as a dirrrrrrrrrty pirate but please keep Depp as well! Ooo James France too! Damn that's too much hotness for one movie!
johnny depp > "rpatz"
Re: sunnydays – mmmm ya I can kinda see russel play captain jack…he's gotta get out of those skinny jeans thu!!!!
Re: Paris France – doesn't he tho!!! that was my first thought when he first showed up and his accent was a little thicker! i was like OMG captain jack. ya think his brother? maybe if they aged him a bit he could play the captain. i just love hearing him talk on GH!!!
Oh hell no! The franchise would not be what it is today without him.
Or why not just bring back Orlando and Keira, make the film about their son or something…would make more sense to me than to cast someone completely new.
i don't care who they get to replace him,, I wouldnt watch without Johnny. He MADE those movies!!!
Who wants to see a 5th and 6th of this movie anyway?
Too many sequels .. will not be hits .. even WITH Johnny Depp.
Without him, even worse.
NO WAY IN HELL WOULD I GO SEE PIRATES WITHOUT JOHNNY, HE IS JACK, HE CREATED JACK AND HOW DARE THEY EVEN CONSIDER REPLACING HIM. DISNEY GO SUCK A FAT ONE!! JOHNNY IS PIRATES AND THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE YOU STUPID IGNORANT PEOPLE, DISNEY YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nooooooooooooo what a stupid move. it would be stupid not to put johnny in it.
will no watch unless he's in it
Without Johnny Depp??? Are those bastards crazy???? Johnny CREATED CAPTIAN JACK SPARROW. Without him, there is no franchise.
Disney needs to STFU and pay the man his money. Johnny made those damn Pirate movies what they are today.
It wil never work without Johnny. There is something called overexploitation with this series. I love Pirates and am willing to see the next one he is in…but a 5th and 6th? Really? That just seems like jumping the shark to me. And please don't make me barf by picturing that Patz in this movie. he may be dirty enough but he does NOT have the clout to be in this series at all. I could kick your fat ass for mentioning him in the same breath as Johnny.
Why would they even think about doing that?
Yeah right, he MADE pirate of the carribean.
Pirates of the Caribbean is defined by the character Sparrow. You can't have more movie without him doesn't matter who signs on. Depp is simply irreplaceable. I am not gonna go watch the movie if there's no Depp in it.
That's all!
Disney has some very stupid people coming up with very dumb Ideas. Whoever thought of replacing Depp should be shot on site!
What? RIP to the whole franchise then. Why do producers do this? It never works. You have to keep the original cast, people. Otherwise….no dough is made and you get a big, fat fail.
Yeahhh….RIIIIIGHT. Pirates without JD??? If they think they can do it and be successful without the Depster — they must be smoking something pretty funky….
That would ruin every other movie if they put someone new. Johnny depp made those movies as popular as they were.
DISNEY: YOU R IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!
They should leave it at three… the novelty is gonna wear off if they make too many.
i wount work withouts him. no johnny-no thanks. even r-patz would be amazing
I smell BOMB without Depp
this has got to be a joke. he IS those movies!!! just as those movies would be NOTHING without him.
Re: Myzaree – Yep, the first one was more than enough. Although I love me some Johnny.
without johnny deep it would never be the same…
Robert Pattison will prove to be just a flash in the pan. Johnny Depp is an Icon.Without him there is no Pirates franchise.
There are no pirates without Johnny Depp!!! Period!
i love rob , ryan and james but without Jack Sparrow there would be nothing …they can come out as another important pirate but they can not replace Johnny Depp !!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHATTHEFUCK!? IS DISNEY SUCKING ON THEIR COCKS TO LONG!? NO JOHNNY =EPIC FAIL
Pirates WONT be the same w/out Johnny. Disney should know better.
Even if Johnny was prepared to make more of the PotC movies i think it's time to stop now. It's always best to go out on a high note and not pathetically flogging a dead horse.
Shortsighted Hollywood greed …again!
For sure I'd go see what Pattinson did with a pirate movie but the other two? No….
ok i love R-patz but he cant top johnny.. Ct. jack is all johnny!
He's the movie.. they might all well not do it..
Unless they intend those movies to go straight to DVD like the new Scoobie Doo movie they better do some begging to get him back. He made that role and no one can take it over!
Plus this movie needs to end. Right now. Actually, maybe it should have ended at number 2
Without Johnny Depp, theres no more Pirates movies for me….He makes the movie what it is..Nobody could replace him.
agree.
Pirates of The Carribean IS Johnny Depp!
Why don't these Producers try to come up with something NEW?
Because they are all a bunch of talentless stupid blowhards.
Obviously Depp's friend was let go in a BAD way. Nice to see how loyal he is, even though he loved being a pirate.
theres no point without johnny depp
i didnt even like the last two movies, so im expecting these upcoming ones to not be so great either, espescially if theres no johnny
I am loyal to the Pirates movies, but if Johnny isn't in them, SCREW IT!!! I WONT WATCH IT WITHOUT THE FAMOUS JACK SPARROW!!
I would not go to a pirates movie if it didn't have Johnny Depp!!!!!!!!!
DUDE.
johnny's the main reason that pirate's was a success! nobody could replace him. ever.
R-Patz is not able to play that role!!! that's sure!!!
Go Ryan!!!
if they're gonna replace him, they might as well NOT make it at all. it will flop.
WTF!! no johnny, no movie! that's the pirate rule, so stick to it, u money-grabbing hollywood morons
FAIL
wtf?! im not going to watch it……… >
No Johnny - no pirate movie for me.
What??….these movies will NOT be the same without him….he sells the movies…
its gonna be a disaster…it would be bettr to not do anymore movies…"leave at ur best moment"
Disney=Moronic
bad move, don't get me wrong I
WTF!!!!!!!JOHNNY IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COUL EVER PULL OFF JACK SPARROW!!!
NOOOOO!!! johnny is THE ONE AND ONLY jack sparrow, i think james franco would be good but not as a replacement for johnny, if theyd cast him from the beginning
NO JOHNNY- NO MORE MOVIES. I'm sorry, but he is MOST of the reason people continue to see these movies. He's fantastic. They should have stopped after the first anyways. The first is CLASSIC, but they got too far fetched. All in all, no one can replace the God who is Johnny Depp.
I'm not watching a Pirates of the Caribbean movie without Johnny Depp! They seriously need to just stop at movie 4 because they're going to be WASTING their MONEY!!! Just because Harry Potter can still make a 1 billion dollars per film doesn't mean EVERY film series can!!
OMG, Johnny MAKES POC! How can they just get rid of him??
It's nothing without him!
I am NOT planning to watch it if Johnny's not in it. He's what made Disney rich off the movies! No matter how sexy anyone else is, it would not be right.
I'm not Brad Pitt's biggest fan, but I do think he would make a brilliant Jack Sparrow. He has that cheeky twinkle in his eye and does great in films where he plays the comic bad boy. So my vote goes to Brad.
i do agree with "blahblah12"
WTF U CAN'T GET RID OF JOHNNY HE'S THE PERSON IN IT
AND IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME, THEY ALL NEE THEIR HEADS TESTIN
R-Patz is a hottie indeed, but nobody can take Johnny Depps place. Lets be real folks! R-Patz I love you though
after I watched Little Ashes, I think Robert Pattinson could really make a good crazy jack sparrow xD he knows how to look nuts!!
