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?
