Petition Forces Disney to Reconsider Johnny Depp’s Return to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean‘. Previously, Disney had shut down the chance for Johnny Depp to return in the iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow. Now, after a Petition from fans to reinstate Depp in the role reached nearly half a million signatures Disney has been forced to reconsider their decision.
The petition initially called for 300,000+ signatures, but has grown in popularity and is nearly at the 500,000 signature mark. Though most petitions go unnoticed or ignored, it seems the Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp fans have managed to catch Disney’s attention and may incite a change for the franchise.
ue to recently highlighted personal issues and allegations made against the famed actor, Depp has been dumped by many major film studios, including Walt Disney Pictures who helmed the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and is looking to create a reboot series or films.
Change.org Petition organizer, Riza Siddiqui, shared, “Johnny Depp has been out recently as Captain Jack Sparrow. One of the reasons is his personal issues as well. He has been playing this role since 2003 when we first saw him arriving at the Port Royal in his boat with that epic background music playing. But can you imagine someone else portraying this instead of him? Or no Jack Sparrow at all?”

there is no pirate of the caribean without jonny depp!!!!
NO SPARROW NO MOVIE!!
Johnny depp is captain jack sparrow. Like come on you can get who ever you want to play that role but you can never replace Johnny depp
Johnny Depp embodied that role!! He was ment to be Captain Jack Sparrow!! I’m a die hard Johnny Depp Fan, have been since Nightmare On Elm Street!! There is no Pirates of the Caribbean without him!! Amber Heard should be ashamed of herself for making such outrageous accusations!!
I won’t watch pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny depp. He makes the entire movie series. Amber Heard is a liar and it’s been proven.
What is the evidence that Disney is reconsidering? Do we have statements from anyone? Or from Depp’s people? This article just tells us that a lot of people signed a petition.
JOHNNY DEPP is the ONLY one who can play CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW.
Besides JOHNNY got raw deal, I don’t believe Amber Heard & her accusations of abuse, Johnny’s ex-wife of 20 years came to his defence. She said in all their years together Johnny never lifted a finger towards her. She has never known him to be violent or abusive person!!
Johnny Depp made show what it is. Take him out and I would never watch it again for any reason
Johnny SHOULD be, NO, Johnny IS the star of POTC…. A cameo is not good enough! We wont bother with POTC if Johnny is not FULLY reinstated and Disney should apologize to Johnny and other abuse victims for their support of a known abuser ie: Amber Turd..
There is No Pirates of the Caribbean WITH OUT JOHNNY DEPP!!!
