    I like Matthew and Hugh; both are fine, personable actors. But let’s get real – Depp has made the Jack Sparrow character his own and his is the interpretation the fans want.

    1. Your right CJA my beautiful husband to be Johnny Depp is the only actor to portray the hottest pirate in the Caribbean mate savvy, and that’s his beloved wife to be Rocky Roxy depp speaking.

  4. No one should replace my
    Beautiful hunky husband to be Johnny Depp, captain Jack sparrow. My darling husband Johnny made captain Jack sparrow his own and only he should play him savvy

    1. Just a bit delusional…

    2. Lynn Diebolt

      Either keep Depp or have him retire to some far off island. Find a way to resurrect Orlando Blooms character and not be condemned to his fate of coming ashore for only a day every few years.

      Or how about a black pirate and I heavily suggest Trevor Noah. He could easily pull off being a pirate with his own flavor of comedic relief like Depp does.

    Innocent until proven guilty is the value this nation was founded on. There is no justice in how Johnny Depp has been treated. Bring in any of these other great actors to co-star with him, sure, but none can replace Depp.

    1. penny squires

      I sure do agree with what you said.. No one can take Johnnys place!

    2. Agreed. And, there is no one, & no way, they can ever take Captain Jack Sparrow away from Johnny Depp. He’s inside Johnny Depp! A part of his heart & soul. He came to be, because this is who Johnny set him up to be, & nobody can ever take that away, or impersonate that!

        I wonder what Jack would have chosen if given an option. It’s very sad to see how easily one could take advantage, of someone while they are down.

  6. Dustin Bollnow

    Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow plain and simple! No one else can do Sparrow like Depp. Keep Johnny Depp on as Jack Sparrow!

    1. Judy

      I can’t imagine anyone but Johnny Depp playing Captain Jack. He made the character his own. Personally, I won’t be watching any Priates movies without Johnny

      1. penny squires

        Same here

    2. Carla McGraw

      Johnny is Captain Jack Sparrow and no one else! Disney is not at all as it use to be when Walt Disney was creating it. Its a disappointment for sure. Joh nny I believe is innocent and Amber Heard is a manipulative money hungry mean person period.

  7. Vicki

    No one else can be Captain Jack Sparrow and that’s all there is to it

  8. RobbieRa

    Keep diddling yourselves, it’s Sooo attractive!

    1. RobbieRa

      Why not have Margo as a gay pirate? What?? Still No script? What about Dwayne in a jungle film? Didn’t work out so hot?
      Keep at it. you might have kittens!

  9. Susie

    Who cares what actors do off stage Disney brought me jack sparrow and I love him Jack sparrow has done nothing wrong Disney made a deal with me I’ve watched them all either bring him back or dont make another one
    It’s not fair. We the people want Johnny Depp

    1. Temperance

      That list is a bad joke…Johnny Depp IS Captain Jack…

  10. I agree to the last section. It’s really nothing against the other actors, but nobody can even begin to replace it. If anything, a separate storyline with completely different characters would be more appropriate. But in general this is not a good idea. Warner Bros. might be able to straighten it out somehow, but i don’t see any chances at Disney.

  11. Mark Ziff

    The whole thing is the Jonny Depp show, so that ends that!
    And according to law….. innocent till PROVEN guilty!
    So that’s that!

    1. R. Finken

      I’m going to have to give a hard pass if they try and replace Depp. Anyone that does a quick scroll through the articles can clearly see this isn’t a clear cut case of abuse. The Australian govt is investigating his ex wife for perjury, if you will illegally smuggle pets into a country then lie to them, what else are you willing to lie about.

      1. Art S

        If i were in JDs position I would tell disney to get lost and never accept any work from them even if their lawyers begged me on their knees.
        Clearly, one side is lying, or both, but only one side, possibly wrong one is being penalized.

  12. Kel

    This cancel culture needs to cancel itself. Noone can play Jack Sparrow but Johnny Depp. Bad breakups especially celebrity ones are cheating or abuse because the cash cow is gone + noone to keep them in the style they were accustomed to. No proof, just smear

  13. Shel

    I’m sorry for my dillusional delights. Especially to PopRocks, I’ve been a bit harsh, but his reactions make me laugh. You see, my synthetics expired. It caused an internal chemical deficiency, forcing my hallucinations out. Goes to show nobody is walking in my shoes but me. Maybe I need a new model. My current model has a very thick coating on it to protect the paint preventing the locks from working as designed. It’s hard to determine what it is under all that shine. I much prefer an honest, real model. Not all the politics of a hand tthat’s always smacking their back.

    1. Shel

      OMG! I’m STILL off balance. Obviously not the lack of synthetics. Must be my faulty locks affecting my chemistry. I need a chisel to get through all the plaster. It caused everything underneath to shrivel up and dry out. They should really be replaced!!! Maybe I need a button instead. God I love buttons. Might be stupid but they’re so much FUN!
      I respect the UN efforts. Anyone can pick apart any appeal, but their request displays passion and courage. Choose with your heart. You won’t be disappointed.

  14. Michelle

    I would like to believe that Disney can’t be as stupid to think that they could replace Jack Sparrow~ Just ask Marvel if that was a great idea? Jack Sparrow is Iconic and irreplaceable. Don’t be an idiot.

  15. Nobody can replace Depp as Jack Sparrow.

  16. Janice

    Depp made that character his, no one elsewould ever be accepted in that role. Also, Disney has no problem continuing to make money from his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.

  17. Roo

    You can’t replace Jack Sparrow with any actor. You can only introduce a new pirate character 🏴‍☠️ Only Depp can be Captain Jack Sparrow. Robert Downey Jr. Since he was killed off on Marvel..would make a great sassy ass Pirate

  18. Roo

    Hey! I like your idea.

  19. Ervin

    Just don’t make any Pirates of the Caribbean movie without Johnny Depp. No one will like it. Period

  20. Linda

    Johnny Depp IS Jack Sparrow no one will ever be able to be that character except JD. Disney has done him very wrong after he has made millions for them. Their wokeness is killing the company and ruining the new films coming out. I hope whatever other POTC movies they attempt to make will be gigantic flops with fans and at the box office. #justiceforJohnnyDepp

  22. Bonez9oh5

    Are you serious with this? None of them could play Jack and do it justice. For one, Robert Dinero is WAY too old for that role, and was already to old when the first dropped. This is probably the worst list for alternatives I’ve seen, and I actually like these actors.

  23. Amanda Goodmon

    No one could ever replace Johnny Depp. If that happens I will not be watching or supporting the movie in any way. JD made Jack Sparrow and no one can take that away from him.

  24. F

    Firts of all Kohnny Depp ofcourse!!!!
    But if I had to choce for someone else it is Harry Shum jr. He played Magnus Bain in the Mortal instruments series. When I saw him playing I saw Jack many times in him. He has the same way of moving, talking and manners… He can be a good one… Just watch!

    1. F

      Khonny is Jhonny Depp ofcourse! Love this actor! He is the one and only Jack Sparrow for me!

  25. Jimmy Olea jr

    The mouse is making mistakes and this one is a doozy. captain jack Sparrow ought to be brought back the mouse needs to court Johnny Depp back.if they don’t I for one will boycott this feature.

  26. karen gladman

    Replacing jack sparrow it not like replacing someone toy that someone has lose it will not been the same in people’s eyes .

  27. Cj Brown

    Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow and Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs deserve to hand things off properly (like it was hinted at in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) to Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites) and Carina Barbosa Smyth (Kaya Scodelario).

    Don’t try and reboot the Pirates franchise with something new (it will not work) – don’t assume Johnny Depp’s career is over (they said the same thing regarding Mel Gibson 16 years ago!) – don’t expect any changes to the Pirates Rides (Bob Chapek is a Cheapskate!)

  28. Cindy Lewis

    Not replaceable in any shape or form!! He is was and always be Captain Jack Sparrow to anyone who loves him as the character and as the person inside that he is and represents. Disney get get the big D after what they didn’t to him and others in the industry.. Not deserved by any means at and that goes for Warner Brothers.. Who treats their family :ie ones that make them money.. With the name Warner BROTHERS. Sounds like family issues..

    1. Cindy Lewis

      Sorry did not didn’t.. At all and

  29. Jennifer

    Hey Looney Lindsey!! He is not your husband to be!! You are pathetic!!

  30. Jennifer

    Sorry this reply was meant for someone else. It was meant for Lindsey depp

  31. Connie Sue Savage

    Very Sad 😔 There is nothing absolutely nothing more wrong than watching an innocent man being treated like he has committed a terrible crime and being DUMPED over something so devastating horrific he is innocent of ever doing to anyone! We have GREAT ACTORS and ACTRESSES but there is ONLY ONE JOHNNY CHRISTOPHER DEPP 2ND and he is simply irreplaceable and NOBODY could ever take and fill his shoes with POTC it will absolutely FLOP without Johnny Depp in POTC and should be treated innocent til proven guilty which of course we ALL KNOW he is totally innocent of these accusations that he has been accused of he did not do at all!

  32. Jill

    This actually made me laugh after a tough day!! Seriously, the fact that those who are professionally in film.. cannot get that Johnny Depp IS CAPT JACK SPARROW!! HE IS NESTING IN JOHNNY’s HEART! AND GUESS WHAT! ONLY JOHNNy CAN WAKE HiM!!!! DANG! I dont make what a movie exec or whoever makes.. why is it I can figure it out and they cant??? WHERE IS THE RUM?? I need SOME! lol :)..

    Can you believe there are no replacement locks? The paint is so dried up it turned to dust in the wind and floated to Tanzania where it met up with a family of gorillas that were studying a group of monkeys led by Monkey Bangs. Bangs was no ordinary monkey, he thought he was God’s gift, everybody wanted him and wanted to be him, and for 30 something years he got away with it. He truly believed himself to be better than everyone, entitled to the gifts of all the wild. He ordered The Monkey Bang Gang to collect what wasn’t his, convincing the gang it always belonged to him. Their current target – The Lions Den. The gang sang a sweet whiskey lullaby until the felines were down. Then intruded the den, stealing all their blessed gifts. The head lion, Jobs, awoke to find his meaningful blessings gone. He was furious and heartbroken. He never bothered anyone, minded his own business, and was kind and respectful to everyone. He couldn’t understand why anyone would target his den. Jobs withheld a special power, fierce eyes that could see directly into the soul and a voice so powerful it could not be ignored, only to be used if called upon by the great spirits of the wild from the 4 corners of the earth. The time had come to answer his call. So he summoned his pet elephant Bertha and began his mission to enlighten the ignorant Monkey Bangs Gang. It wasn’t long until Jobs found Bangs sitting in a lonely cave surrounded by stolen gifts he had no idea how to use. Jobs wanted to help Bangs so he gave him a chance to return the gifts.
    Bangs refused, said all gifts belonged to him, always did. Bertha wasn’t having it, she was furious over the principle of Bangs taking what was not his, so she sat on his chest (Bangs wished it was COPD) and Jobs, with one swipe of a claw, removed Bangs bangs (the bangs were about 2021 years outdated – he really needed to change it up). Jobs gave Bangs one last warning to return all gifts, or, everyday the gifts go unreturned, Jobs will return to teach the Monkey Bang Gang a new lesson!

    NO! JUST PLAIN OLE NO!
    JOHNNY DEPP CANNOT BE REPLACED IN POTC!
    Get over it already and stop wasting everybody’s time and give us Jack Sparrow back!

    1. Shel

      Agreed. I’m so sorry on Ice. My comments are very hurtful, a merry-go-round of BS.

      PopRocks, you know as well as I, go directly to the source if you want honestly objective news. It’s all about asking the right questions. But it should not be used to hurt anyone.

  35. Shel

    You’re trying to teach me a lesson, PopRocks, but you’re not going to change my beliefs.
    You think I’m gullible and weak because I believe love is more powerful than money.
    I don’t believe billionaires can solve the worlds problems, nor should we expect them to. Nobody should tell anyone what to do with their own money. To just give it away to anyone that asks is stupid. It’s going to take way more than money to solve the world’s current issues. People need to care about each other to have the passion, ambition, to get through hard times. Money can’t do that, only love can make that happen. I will always believe love IS more powerful than money no matter how hard it gets.

    1. Shel

      LOL!
      Do you honestly think I care what anyone thinks about me? C’mon! How many of my comments were written while I was completely unaware I was under your influence. Yet I’m still here.
      I have no doubt you are the best at what you do. I think I can handle it. I didn’t get my charming personality by hanging out with nice people. Besides, you get in my head, I get in yours (no tech required). I don’t do it much. It’s not very nice, but all is fair. Soon you’ll be singing it’s Reigning Shel in your sleep.
      I’m not going to watch or let you ruin Mr. Depp’s career just because you THINK you can. BALANCE is necessary! And you trying to challenge my brain is entertaining. Let me know if you figure it out. I certainly have not.
