Because they screwed themselves, they tried to align with Amber Heard, that MASSIVELY backfired by her constantly lying ass and Johnny Depp's not just loyal fans but redemption arc in court. The cancel culture around him ended up failing and is now on Heard as no one wants to see a film with her in it.
Since he was the central reason ANYONE went to those films, they wisely ditched the female sequel they had planned and can't afford a Depp return so are shelving it to cut losses and still have a franchise they can sell merchandise about.
Disney can cancel the dozen or so woke films and bring back johnny depp lol. 1 pirate of carribean movie would make more money than 12 queer biracial movies.
Probably for the best. Depp is what made that movie franchise so entertaining in the first place, without him it would just be another lackluster action adventure movie series with no soul.
Might as well. There's actually a lot of very interesting tales they could pursue. Anyone who's played Sid Meier's Pirates! can probably tell you a few interesting pirate stories.

Have you seen his last POTC movie? It was a clunker and he was half-drunk half the time, and not because it was in the script.
True

Not even for ten million and two dozen alpacas.
Now that Depp has been (effectively) canceled, I could imagine they may reboot it as a series.

Depp doesn't get his big return, shocker.
Women (I.E the majority female board) couldn't allow that one.
