    Disney did the man wrong way before the trial even started. To me they should have waited until the trial was over and make their decision, but they didn’t, and to add Margot Robbie and Dwayne Johnson is an insult and I won’t pay not one red cent to watch either one because neither actor will ever replace Captain Jack Sparrow.

    1. Cheryl

      Neither Will Turner I ,I
      Either; (Johnny Depp), as “(Captain Jack Sparrow)”; or To Davie Locker with them; and Kick Rock
      AmNotHeard!!!

    2. Kat

      100% agree with you as do my family. Disney is already on shakey grounds with many as a result of their money-grabbing attitudes lately.

  2. Elizabeth

    I will NEVER watch another DIsney movie if this is not made right with J Depp! NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE can replace him as C.J.S!!!!!! I love DJ but , he will never make that part work!J.D is unique no body makes a character come alive like him.

  3. Vivian

    I would hope Disney would do all in their power to return Me Depo to his role. This wasn’t right to begin with he was their employee they had no business in his personal life, nor do the rest of us

  4. Carmina

    Hope Disney apologize to Johnny and I really really wish he returns as a Jack sparrow I love him

      There is no Pirates without Johnny Depp.

        My mom may she Rest In Peace is probably so mad at Disney right now because of their actions towards Johnny without a fair trial. We actually put a small statue of CJS in her resting place because she loved him that much. She would have been in face book jail for comments about amber and Disney lol she and I would both say “there’s no pirates without J Depp.” Also He lived in our neighborhood in Miramar and played in a band at my brothers birthday party . We (family) will miss him as CJS it will never be the same. 😢

        1. JS

          I have tears in my eyes. Your mom seemed like she was an awesome person.

  5. I will not watch future Pirates movies without Mr. Depp. And as wishy washy as Disney is regarding Depp, I’m not sure I every want to return to the theme park or see any other movies that Disney proudly places their name upon.

    1. Rita

      There is no PofC without JD in it. No other actor can replace him. He is Jack Sparrow. His fans are loyal and will not watch the movie or support Disney. Will lose a lot of money if they make it and whoever tries to play his character will lose their fan base.

  6. If and it’s a big if, Johnny Depp returns to Disney more power to him if not that’s great too. As far as DeWayne “I want more than everyone else” Johnson playing Captain Jack Sparrow it will not work. The only way it would work is for “I want more than everyone else” to get into some really hard drug use for a year or so and stop using the roids and then go to the audition high as a kite then he may have a 1 in a 100 billion chance to play the part any where close to the way Depp did. Personally if Depp isn’t going to play Sparrow anymore then either stop making the movies or kill Sparrow off the series.

  7. I love Johnny Depp and I pray he continues his role of Captain Jack Sparrow for the FANS!! We love you!!

  8. Deserae

    No hope here. Regardless of who won the trial he still showed he was abusive, with extremely poor judgment and is continuing to be faced with legal issues. Hopefully he can choose rehabilitation with his addictions and anger management. Then sure people can change for the better and then revisit his role again.

    1. Sophie

      Your wrong guess your on her side

    2. Marilee

      When Johnny was on the stand talking about all of this, you could see just how hurt he was/is. As he said, he built the character from the ground up. All of those children who love getting visits form CJS will be so disappointed when he doesn’t show up anymore. How could Disney do this to him & to them? I will never buy another thing from Disney, I will never go to Disney world ever again, I will not ever watch a Pirates movie. Johnny Depp is & always will be Captain Jack Sparrow!

    3. Larry

      You gotta be kidding?

    4. jaysjules

      people have to remember he is just a person to and everyone has faults no one is perfect and not one person can say that they have never said mean or bad things out of anger before and with that kind of fame and money for most of his life unfortunately he’s probably jad easier access to alot more drugs etc bur even with his personal issues and battles I don’t think alot of people know really how generous and caring this man also is visiting hospitals and sick kids just hanging out at Disney in the rude to surprise people I even saw on a talk show some woman lost her husband and he just sat and held her hand supporting her and when her kids came out he gave them both bracelets to match his and then offered to pay for their educations and I believe that that’s not the only time he’s done things like that so even with h battling his demons he still was caring for fellow Humans and not alot of others can say that

  9. WC Krey

    For me to there is no Pirates of the Caribbean without Capt. Jack Sparrow……

  10. Melissa Schmidt

    If Johnny Depp isn’t in a Pirates Of The Caribbean movie then I will refuse to watch it ! He is Jack Sparrow and he’s the reason why Disney was a success on that entire movie series Disney should do a public apology and they shouldn’t have even doubted Johnny. I hope they can reconcile I would love to see Johnny Depp do another Pirates Of The Caribbean movie but if he doesn’t then I can completely understand why not and I still have a tremendous amount of respect for him.

  11. Lynn

    Disney execs are making a lot of poor choices lately… While it is my happy place (rides, shows, fireworks and animations)… these idiots in charge are ruining it! They support mental child abuse yet fire someone for alleged abuse… smh

  12. Hexlinger

    So…who or what is poptopic? Never heard of them and suddenly they have the inside? Yeah im not holdin my breath for a flybynight
    Popup new outlet. If he comes back he comes back. I will not follow this line unless nr depp states it aliyd or disney does a huge release. The ball is completely in his court. Now hush ir with the wishin on a star, and speaking about things ya made up from your ass.

  13. Michele Brown

    No one could ever come close to JD… playing that part! He is one of a kind a real rare jewel. Disney needs to make a public apology to him and make things right…I hope JD continues his wonderful roll because without him the movie wouldn’t be worth my time…JD always makes the movie hit!

    1. I agree with you 100 percent…that part was for him and him only…. Disney took upon their own judgement without digging into the real meaning…and now they lost one of their best actors…it’s on them… Johnny has his music to fall back on or other parts of the man with many faces…..

  14. Cathy

    Without Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow there is NO pirate’s of the Caribbean! I will not go see it if he isn’t in the role
    Johnny Depp made the movies and no one can play the part like he does!

  15. Cheryl

    Depp is Saprrow! And I won’t see anything without him in it!

    #nosaprrowwithoutdepp

    1. Cheryl

      Sparrow oops

  16. Ragnar Jonassen

    Depp or no one
    .
    Simple as that!

  17. Susanne

    Johnny Depp is the only Jack Sparrow. I will never go see Pirate’s of the Caribbean without him in it.

  18. Patti

    I don’t think Johnny Depp should ever return to Disney. They jumped the gun and threw him out without knowing all the facts. The only reason they would apologize and ask him to come back is greed. They know he would bring in more money. Sorry, too late. This may just be a rumor, but if Disney actually does approach the subject with an olive branch, Depp should tell them to get lost.

  19. Debbie

    I will not believe any of this until Johnny Depp himself makes an announcement. Too many hackers, and others are only guessing he will come back as Jack Sparrow. Not trying to be a Debbie downer, trust me, I would love to see him come back, just need to hear it from Johnny. Fingers crossed he will do it, but not without a deepest apology from Disney. Your the man Johnny! ❤️🍷

  20. Marisol

    No offense to Margot Robbie and The Rock they’re both great actors, however Disney acknowledges that Capt. Jack Sparrow (JD) IS Pirates of the Caribbean. No Johnny Depp, no movie. Disney needs to apologize to Johnny Depp they wronged so many people. Not to mention all the thousands of cast members they laid off just so they’re greedy executives can get their lucrative bonuses and screw everyone over. Especially Mr. Paycheck!!!

  21. Rosanne

    Disney jumped to conclusions too early and made a very poor choice for them financially. They would NEVER be able to recast Captain Jack. Johnny Depp is the only person who people want to see as this character. If I were Disney, I would offer him the world to get him back along with a public apology. Their gross on his next Pirates movie would be off the charts. Their parks are failing and not magical anymore. Johnny Depp could be Disney’s saving grace. I hope they can see that. But more importantly, I hope that if a ‘once in a lifetime deal’ comes Johnny’s way, he will embrace it for his fans who want him to return!

  22. Stacey

    First and foremost Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow, there will never be another Captain Jack Sparrow. As far as Margo and Dwayne, if they are to appear in any Pirates of the Caribbean it would not be as Captain Jack Sparrow, it would be two totally different characters in the franchise. I think a movie with Margo as a female badass pirate it’s made right would be good. I am not sure even though his character would be a different pirate, if people could get past it and long for Johnny.

  23. Donna

    Don’t do it Johnny!!! They are losing out big time without you but they did you wrong and they are not worth it. Stay strong and be free of Disney!! ✌🏼

  24. Alan vincent

    Disney better get him back quick or another disney moneymaker will tank when will they stop reacting to stupidity these are actors not gods keep cancelling everything and disney will just be a dead memory everyone will leave disney for universal

    1. Tinia Franklin

      Disney disgusts me. I can not forgive them for what they have done to Johnny. He is the main reason Pirates did so well. I love the other actors but its Captain Jack Sparrow for me. PLUS JOHNNY DEPP IS IS INNOCENT!!!

  25. carol

    We now live in a country where you are guilty until proven innocent thanks to “cancel” and woke culture as in “ME TOO”

    1. JS

      Unfortunately when you are proven innocent you are still guilty just because what’s between your legs. I was once falsely accused of something at my job and was told that there was no evidence of it, but that didn’t matter. It was incredibly hurtful so I know how Johnny and others going through something like this feels.

  26. Sandra

    Its NOT Captain Jack if it’s not Johnny. You guys better RIGHT THIS WRONG

  27. Tony

    I will never watch another movie by Disney after what they did to Depp

  28. Lynn

    There will only ever be ONE Captain Jack Sparrow and that roll can only be fulfilled by Johnny Depp! He is the reason there are the Pirates of The Caribbean movies! If Disney is smart they will bring him back at any cost and the movie will be the highest grossing movie in history! I will NOT watch another Pirates movie WITHOUT JOHNNY DEPP IN IT!

  29. They turned their backs on him without ever asking or hearing his side of the story. The one that made them millions!! I with Johnny! He’s not going back to Disney & I don’t blame him! Shame on you Disney!!

  30. Doreen

    No POTC without Captain Jack Sparrow and there is no Captain Jack without Johnny Depp. Period! Disney making the worst decisions the last few years. Better go back to old Disney

  31. Teri

    His rep did tell NBC this was a rumor and Disneys stocked on the Dow Jones hit it’s lowest yesterday in history . JD said in court he wouldn’t go back and he meant it. Disney is now trying to groom kids. I say he wouldn’t go back because he has integrity. Disney is going down the tubes now for their own stupidly so why should JD go save them?? Let them drown with their new pedophile type grooming they are doing now! Walt Disney is turning in his grave! JD doesn’t need nor want Disney They messed it up themselves with their guilty before proven innocent. Good bye Disney!

  32. Rob

    The new owners of Disney are taking Disney down the tubes. Monumental greed & bad judgement, Disney. Johnny Depp made the character. Won’t see a Disney pirate movie, won’t go to Disneyland, Disney World, won’t buy Disney products !

  33. Amie

    I honestly hope he continues to turn Disney down. The whole company is becoming a trainwreck making poor decision after poor decision. The current state of Disney is so far removed from what it was meant to be. If I were Walt Disney’s family, I would sue to have his name removed from such trash.

  34. Carrie A Becker

    Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow!!! You can’t replace him. Ratings will decrease and movie will flop.

  35. Carrie A Becker

    Then don’t make another movie of pirates of the Caribbean.

  36. kurt

    The first pirate movie was amazing!
    The second, okay.
    Didn’t watch the rest….

    1. Mark

      You didn’t miss much. Each got worse than the one before.

      1. JS

        This is true, but they still were entertaining.

    #boycottdisney

    1. Jo

      I second that boycott Disney. Pride cometh before fall.

  38. Maria

    Johnson will never replace cap. Jack sparrow’s He is way to BIGG!! to play that character. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT Disney couldn’t apologize with Johnny Depp. Wow you Lose a GREAT ACTOR and a lot of Fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, too Sad!!

  39. Jessie A

    I think it’s more interesting that you refer to Johnny Depp as “the ex -husband of Amber Herd” in the article. She has nothing to do with this article about him and his Disney choices. And titling him in this way is super disrespectful to him. If it was a woman who was being referred to as the ex wife of X actor people would be up in arms. He is more than her ex husband and she doesn’t need to be brought into this.

  40. I definitely want Johnny Depp to go back . Everyone can see Jack Sparrow again. Please do

  41. Tinia Franklin

    Disney disgusts me. I can not forgive them for what they have done to Johnny. He is the main reason Pirates did so well. I love the other actors but its Captain Jack Sparrow for me. PLUS JOHNNY DEPP IS IS INNOCENT!!!

  42. Tinia Franklin

    Nune or shall I say amberturd fan. Kick rocks. Johnny has never hurt Amber or anyone else. And if you are smart enough to understand he did not start his heavy drinking and strong drugs until Amber. He has always done some but nothing like when he was with her. He was trying to cope with the fact he was in love with an abusive Witch. He is doing way better now,living his best.
    Take your hateful comments to the Turd posts .

  43. Jo

    I agree Disney did Johnny Depp wrong in the very beginning. Therefore, I don’t care who plays that part, but I hope everybody boycotts Disney pirates movie. Let them spend millions of dollars for a big flop because we support Johnny Depp.

  44. Jeanette

    I want a public apology issued to Johnny Depp. He isn’t interested in helping disney create something because of their lack of moral turpitude. However I feel they owe him a public apology!!!

  45. CYNNA

    What would Walt do?

  46. CRT

    I will not spend a cent to see another Pirates movie unless it stars Johnny Depp. I don’t give a hoot about Margot Robbie.

  47. Linda

    Walt Disney did Johnny Depp wrong if he is not going to be playing Jack Sparrow in the last episode of the of the franchise I will not be watching it nor will I buy it there is only one jack sparrow and that’s Johnny Depp.

  48. KN

    I grew up with Johnny, as I was a fan who watched 21 JumpStreet during my teens. I’ve watched just about every movie as well. I’d have to say ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ have been my favorite! No actor could ever replace him. He made the role what it is today. I bought each movie in the series on DVD asap when available. (Even if I’d already paid to see in a theater) I just got Disney+ because I wanted to watch them again!
    @Johnny Depp PLEASE find a deal & public apology from Disney that’s sincere to allow your return for us, your loving fans that believed you from day one.😘❤❤❤

  49. Pam

    I love JD. He’s a humble man and very intelligent. Right now he’s making a movie in Paris so it’ll be a while before he makes another one here. I hope he reprises his role as Jack Sparrow. That gold digger ex-wife and his needs to go back to Arizona and where she has a home and stay there. She knew when she married him she get money. You can see right through her. Anyway God bless you JD and much love to you 💖

  50. Katherine

    I believe johnny depp should be the main character for Jack sparrow. He inspired millions of children and of course some adults. In my heart he will always will be Jack sparrow. If he is not part of the movie I agree with everyone else I will not watch it if he is not in it. Because of him my kids love to watch all of his movies manly for kids of course lol. He is an inspiration to me and my family. We love you Johnny. Never stop being you.

  51. BRING HIM BACK!! There will be no substitute for him.
