Those who are fans of Pirates of the Caribbean know that the character of Jack Sparrow is alive and kicking today thanks to their favorite actor and Hollywood legend, Johnny Depp. There is a massive fan base that is requesting, teasing, and pressuring Disney to make his return as Jack Sparrow in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Earlier, it was announced that Disney planned to work on a female-centric soft-reboot of Pirates 6. The film was set to star Australian actress Margot Robbie, but the actress confirmed that the project was dead in the water at Disney in an interview recently.

Many fans have wondered what the future holds for the beloved Pirates franchise after Disney released two different scripts, both of which reportedly do not feature Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. However, Margot Robbie claimed in an interview that Disney’s script based on female-centric soft-reboot of Pirates 6 will not going to be in action.

There are reports indicated that even before Depp’s defamation trial with Amber Heard took place, the company had turned its back on him. Although Depp’s court proceedings concluded several months ago, and he won the infamous trial against his ex-wife, Disney and all major Hollywood studios are not planning to work with him soon.

Despite Depp’s defamation trial, he was reportedly accused and criticized by Disney executives for allegedly displaying ‘drunkard rage’ towards them. However, Disney’s backing off of its plans to cast Depp in Pirates 6 isn’t official, and its reasons aren’t known now.
