Action-Adventure Disney Talking ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Reboot With ‘Deadpool’ Scribes Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick

I don't want to see Depp in any future movie for any studio or any franchise or IP or story or premise. He is dead to me and has been for a long time.

At this point the only storyline that would make sense is a "I'm getting too old for this" Star Trek II sort of plot for Depp. He's basically been the same character for five movies and hasn't changed at all, and it's getting very worn out.

Isn’t that kind of the point of Jack Sparrow? He’s like Bugs Bunny and never really changes.

It’s more important they have compelling lead characters we care about and Sparrow is the supporting character along for the ride.

No Jack Sparrow no POTC for me.

That works for a movie or two, but after five movies I've just found it to be getting tiresome. And as you pointed out, Jack Sparrow was never meant to be a main character, he's a supporting character who took over the franchise. Now he just does the same thing over and over and over and over and over etc. Not really interested in another movie where he just does what he did in the other movies. If Disney wants to use the character again, I think it'd be great if they could think of something different for him to do. Maybe go to the American colonies or something.

Just because you have a franchise and IP doesn't mean you should keep making more. This is the problem and the trap.

Disney tried really hard to reboot Haunted Mansion again and look what happened.

I think Depp is much more the franchise sequels/decline rather than the strength. A pretty-strong reboot, just using the concepts and some very broad/faint elements, makes more sense, world of pirates is, should be pretty vast and varied, room for strong reboot some 20 years later.
