Depp out of Pirates Water!

New Sparrow for POTC sequels?

I for one enjoyed Pirates of the Carribean, especially the antics of Capt. Jack Sparrow. I loved the mythology that they had created for that show, and I like how they don't take things too seriously. But this news of Depp being replaced is of serious matter, I know that Disney has a knack of continuing with sequels that doesn't have their previous main actors on board. I know it's all about marketing but the returns for those sequels is less desirable than the originals. So, I don't think its sound to have a different face for POTC.

Article from MTV reads:

Following the recent departure of Disney studio chief Dick Cook, Johnny Depp admitted to being less enthusiastic about returning to the role of Captain Jack Sparrow for "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" ("Pirates" part 4, for those who lost count). And the fans in turn admitted that they'd give up on the franchise without him in it.

That apparently isn't stopping Disney though. According to a tip received by Cinema Blend, the studio is preparing to replace Depp if/when he decides to abandon ship. This may not happen with "On Stranger Tides," as Disney is likely prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him aboard. The actor, who is said to be aware the last two movies "sucked," will definitely not be sticking around for the fifth and sixth installments if the tipster is to be believed.
