Rumor: Disney Wants Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow To Appear As Side Character In Female-Led 'Pirates Of The Caribbean'
A new rumor claims Disney wants Johnny Depp to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in their female-led 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film.
Hopefully he will tell them to fuck off.
I assume coke is not cheap and coke addicts aren't known for making good decisions.
He seems to be doing fine? I enjoyed his Shane McGowan biopic.
As if they’d have him on. Just use cgi.
A million alpacas is not something easy to gather.
That's an extremely common strategy to lure people in for a dose of THE MESSAGE. Lots of these reboots and sequels pull the rug out from under the characters you paid to see.
Almost like they know nobody would pay money to see some woke offbrand version of these beloved characters or something...
It's pretty much expected at this point. Almost 100% of these white male-led nostalgic franchises come back with some random chick as the new lead.
Star Wars: Luke is a loser, Han is murdered, Leia is a strong General, Rey is über-powerful and beats all the bad guys.
Terminator: John Connor is murdered in the first 5 minutes, Mexican girl is the new savior of mankind, Sarah Connor is now a 5'5" petite wahman with no arm definition. Arnold is an old married dad.
Indiana Jones: Indy is a drunk divorcee who no one likes, ugly Br*tish bint is is the new hero who everyone loves and is smart and clever and beautiful!!!
Iron Man is dead and replaced by a black girl, Thor is still a loser and is replaced by a woman, Hulk is lame and weak and replaced by a woman, Hawkeye is replaced by a woman, Dr. Strange is replaced by a woman in his own movie, Antman is shown up by two women in his own movie, Black Panther is replaced by a woman, Spider-man is being replaced with a black kid (but not in the real movies (YET)), Captain America replaced with a black man who already had his own name and "powers," War Machine (James Rhodes) was actually a girl alien the whole time, Samuel Jackson is a lazy old man who is replaced by a smug condescending woman.
Batman: recently killed and Harley Quinn is being shoved into the spotlight in his place
Just off the top of my head. I'm sure I missed a couple other obvious ones.
He-Man: Gets killed in the 1st episode and the entire season is about a butch Teela.
I guess this is where we find out how cucked Mr Depp is. Hopefully he tells them to fuck right off.
Oh don't worry buddy that degenerate cokehead that was routinely assaulted by his ex-wife is gonna the world show that he is based as fuck.
Or not. More likely he'll just take the check and order another cargo ship full of llamas and a kilo of Peru's finest powder.
He already told them to fuck off, months ago, mostly because how they treated him after the bed-shitter publicized her allegations.
How what?
It's been a year, son.
Learn.
Every single female only version of movie sucks ass.. from female ghost busters to female oceans 11.
It's so bad I instantly write off any female-led movies these days, especially action/adventure.
The best part of Weimar movies is the anticipation of NOT seeing them and waiting for the inevitable screeching about how they're entitled to my money and time.
So they have enough for his millions of llamas?
I thought it was alpacas.
I'm probably wrong then, I might be getting mixed up because I played Tropico a while back..
<insert cartman here>
Disney Pedo Productions: advancing unwanted DEI, until they themselves DEI.
I won't see it either way, but I hope that he either tells them to fuck off outright, or extracts basically the same salary he would have gotten if he had been the leading man in a full movie for whatever shitty cameo they have planned for him.
Didn't they publicly announce that he was fired during the whole Amber Heard thing?
Not surprised but I thought they have been wanting to do this for a while
If I remember correctly the project was canceled but I assume Bob Iger wanted something to showcase for investors.
Of course, bait and switch is all they ever rely on to sucker the remaining people into watching their slop.
Is this technique even that effective anymore? From what I can discern from most of my corner of reality even your most tuned out person is well aware of this. I'm pretty sure it's starting to backfire, after all no one wants to see their favorite star all flabby and washed up. Movies are going through what the music industry did in the late 80's, early 90's and it didn't work then either.
"Pirettes of the Caribbean"
He should talk to Elon Musk and get investing in Llamas.
They should have been setting up some cheaper actors to take the lead role since it was clear that the franchise was something that could be milked, instead it sounds like it's going to be another fumble that kills off the IP for upwards of a decade until it can be rebooted.
RUN JOHNNY RUN!!
More appropriately "leave her Johnny leave her"
I'm sure there are plenty of examples of studios doing this, using an established franchise to make a "girl boss' movie, and it ending in financial disaster. It's Disney's own fault if they do it. All the warning signs were there for them to take note of. I hope Depp doesn't do it.
