    No true. This rumor is from May. No one wants the rock as jack sparrow lmao. The franchise would be done.

    1. Vincent

      I think it’s just talking about on the list.. but framed to get people viewing it thinking it was about The Rock being in the Pirates franchise. Annoying

      1. Luca

        no. just no. #notmysparrow

        1. Xander

          This is not the same

          1. I’ve never seen Johnson in a movie and never will. Depp is Jack and nobody can replace him!

          2. KK

            Facts!

          3. Pamela

            YES! SO TRUE!
            No one but Johnny can play CAPT JACK SPARROW
            Won’t watch anyone else. JD “CREATED” CAPT JACK

        2. Cindy Wilson

          If this is true I won’t watch it only Johnny Depp can do the part

        3. Cyn

          If true — No!! Only Johnnie can be Back Sparrow!!

        4. Amanda

          I’d rather the series stay with the end that it had then a rock continue on the series. Pirates will always be Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom end of story

      2. Harriet Yocum

        I like the rock.But Johnny Depp is the pirate .you are all crazy. He my Jack Sparrow

        1. Arney Grape

          No he’s my brother! That’s Gilbert!! That’s Gilbert and I’m Arney! Match in the gas tank boom! boom!

          1. Patrick

            I could see the Rock play a nemesis to Jack Sparrow….but not Sparrow himself

          2. E blocher

            No jack, no movie! Nothing against Dwayne, just not JD. Sorry, Disney, would be disastrous for you without Johnny Depp.

      3. Betty

        There is no other Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp made that character.

        1. Sara

          Just Johnny Depp

          1. Johnny Depp is Jack sparrow hands down

        2. Robert Smith

          Amen! 🙏; I will say this if Dwayne The Rock Johnson plays Jack Sparrow I definitely will not be watching it. No Disrespect Or Offense I love The Rock but not as Jack Sparrow. I’m sorry.

          1. Dani Edge

            Crazy… Rock is wrong for that part – it would be an insult- only Johnny!

          2. Jim Andrritsos

            Sorry, but Vin Diesel was right….DJ,aka “The Rock,” will never be in same acting capability as the one and only Johnny Depp, aka Jack Sparrow!!

        3. Tom

          Then I never watch this sh.itty dj actor again

        4. Linda

          No only Johnny Depp is the true jack sparrow the rock is a run down wrestler wannabe actor if the rock plays Jack sparrow I will not watch and I will band all Disney movies

      4. Tammy

        I didn’t even read the article because I knew it was absolutely the www spreading crap like always to get more views, real ppl don’t care. On a positive note I agree w most comments. NO ONE could ever replace Johnny Depp’s Character As Jack Sparrow! Johnny made Jack Sparrow his own out of shear talent and being good at taking on any roll, Edward Scissor Hands one of my faves. We all know, no one can ever fill Johnny’s shoes in the role of “Jack Sparrow”

        1. Matt

          You could definitely have The Rock in pirates if you wanted, but Johnny Depp is now and forever will be Capt Jack Sparrow and the lead actor in the franchise. Lose him and there’s no point continuing. It’s like a car without a motor, pointless.

      5. Devin

        Exactly

        1. Ruth

          No way but the should add a cousin like Russell BrandsI think he would make a good fit

          1. Jos

            There is only one Jack Sparrow, Mr.Depp, Savy!

          2. ~theresalynn817

            I think adding Russell Brand to the franchise in some form of a family member of Captain Jack would be an absolute blast!! What an awesome idea Ruth, I hope Disney sees your idea on here.

      6. Ian

        Character already taken… Johnny Depp is the Jack Sparrow

      7. Cheryl

        Apparently, most of y’all didn’t read the article. Nowhere did it say Dwayne Johnson was taking over the role of Jack Sparrow. It clearly said, he took the lead as the most popular actor among Gen Z population.
        I say, good for you, Dwayne!

      8. Todd

        Read the f*****g article people!!!
        The Rock replaced him in popularity ONLY!

      9. Shel

        Agree. Both are great guys and don’t think they would appreciate your inference that they in competition. Both worked wonderfully together this month on a campaign to help out a young boy who has a terminal heart condition.

      10. Johnson is a movie star. Depp is a genuine actor. Don’t confuse the two.

        1. Louis L Jr

          Wow, almost no one read this article and then commented about something ridiculous, that’s not even close to what the article was talking about. Please people read the article before you comment. With that said, I like Johnny Depp he is one of my all time favorite actors, but Dwayne Johnson is by far my favorite actor. I can rely on him to come through with great characters for my kids as well as putting on a show in his comedic rolls and keeps me on the edge of my seat in his action movies. Off screen he is a man and a father that any generation can look up to. Congratulations Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson on your success, you work hard and are true to yourself so you deserve it.

      11. SteveM

        Good catch, Vincent. Apparently you’re the only one who actually read this drivel masquerading as news. Old Doo-wayne is a chemically enhanced narcissist who wants to take over every movie franchise in existence. But this article is only about some list about popularity.

    2. Shane

      1000% agreed. I like rock but wouldn’t see the movie. There are roles for rock and roles that aren’t. And Jack sparrow is a ‘are not!’
      Sorry rock but love me some Johnny. Johnny rules and ROCKS!
      Just watched Edward Scissorhands last night. Can you even imagine Rock playing that part? Awkward!!!

      1. Tammy

        My favorite also. And agree 💯 no one can do Jack Sparrow like Johnny

      2. Tammy

        Agreed 💯 I love something cooking, but this is not cooking. 😂

    3. Deborah

      I agree ! Johnny Depp is and always will be CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW.

      1. Ho es ff jullie!! Ik ben al fan sinds 1984. Dus heb ik als groot fan óók een stem! Én met mij vele anderen over de hele wereld.
        Niemand anders, behalve John Christopher Depp 2, mag de rol spelen van Captain Jack Sparrow!!!!
        Dát kan ook niemand anders.
        Dwayne Johnson is een super acteur, maar zie je hem al gillend, zwaaiend met zijn flinke armen, over het strand rennen??
        Met 40 andere piraten achter hem aan?? 😂😂🤣🤣🤭🤭✌️✌️
        Ik niet!!
        Alleen Johnny Depp!!☠️🏴‍☠️

        1. Die éne zin hoort er niet in.
          Moet zijn: en velen met mij.

        2. Michele Given

          Johnny will always be capt. Jack Sparrow! No one can replace him.

      2. Johnny C. Depp is and will always be the one and only Cap’t Jack Sparrow! If Disney is crazy enough to let Mr. Depp go and try to replace him, the film will be a complete dud. No one could play the part of Jack Sparrow as well as Mr Depp did. I hope Disney gets their act together and gives Mr Depp his part back an sooner rather than later.

        1. Melina

          and he will always be a wife beater 🙂

          1. Did you not watch the same trial that the rest of the world did wake up!! He is innocent she LIED….🤬

          2. Shel

            Agree. And she did not even lie well. Which explains her standing as a Z list actress.

          3. Kyle Denny

            Sure kid, Sure

          4. Paul Kovarcik

            Melina, didn’t you see the trial? He was exonerated

          5. Casey

            So was OJ

          6. MassiveM110

            Imagine being this dense people..🥴

          7. Your opinion but not proven fact. Heard the proven liar can’t convince normal people that Mr Depp abused her.

          8. Shel

            Agree Steve. Sadly some people lack comprehension and critical thinking skills.

          9. Shel

            Serious accusation from that UK clown court. Full jury 6wk court in US tore her lies apart. Abuse has no gender. Truth prevailed and she lost

    4. Chantal

      I love the Rock. But he’s not Jack Sparrow. That will forever be Johnny Depp

      1. Jos

        There is only one Jack Sparrow, Mr.Johnny Depp. Savy!

    5. Tim

      BOYCOTT DISNEY!

      Disney has gone Extremely Woke!!
      They lost $1 billion last quarter. You would think they would make better decisions and put an end to these rumors and do a press release. Fans are already mad, disappointed or turned away from all Disney Inc because of how you handled the Johnny Depp/Amber Scat turd Heard court fiasco. You dumped on JD when he was found innocent of all he was accused of.
      Way to stand behind the male population of the world!!

      No Johnny Depp, No Jack Sparrow; No Jack Sparrow, NO Disney for my family and I !!

    6. Kev merry

      As long as the wife beater gets sacked, I really don’t care🤣🤣🤣🤣

      1. Tim

        You must be a meth-head or just estipido. He was found totally the victim by a unanimous jury decision in a REAL court system, not a “Kangaroo” court. Amber the turd is trash, always has been, always will be. Also always know for her nasty ways including
        💩ing in the bed. Now that is common trailer trash… GTFOI and move on with the trailer park 💩 you are spewing..

      2. Your opinion but not proven fact. Heard the proven liar can’t convince normal people that Mr Depp abused her.

    7. Daisy

      Johnny Depp.id Captain Sparrow and cannot be replaced by anyone else. Otherwise that is the end of the Pirates of the Carribean story.

    8. Can’t stand him…!
      Not an actor just a wrestler, yea, a rock.
      ..Between the ears..

    9. Peter Crisp

      Could not think of anything worse it would god awful.

    10. Mark

      I agree plus the rock cannot act idc what people say like every movie he plays in he has great supporting actors and actresses like showing his pecks and crap is not good acting

    11. I really believe Dwayne (Rock) Johnson is a very enjoyable actor…but for the Pirate of the Caribbean, that would be a mistake for him to pursue…it’s a career buster for anyone to try to fill it….may as well give the part to Amber Heard.
      .with fans anyone but Johnny just won’t do PERIOD….

    12. Fyah

      Exactly, I agree 💯☝

    13. Len

      I will not watch the movie .johnny is the one and only one ,!

    14. Bob

      It’s not necessarily that no one wants Dwayne Johnson as Jack Sparrow, more to the point Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow. The character is synonymous with Johnny Depp and no one else could be Jack Sparrow. It’s not like James Bond or Batman or Superman where a new actor can come along and just continue right along as if nothing happened. He made the character.

    15. Arnie Grape

      That’s my brother Gilbert he’s fun huh? Gilbert it’s Arnie!

    16. The greek77

      Yeah im glad it’s popular ity and not jack sparrow because i would not be watching period. Seriously im glad it’s popularity not the role.

      1. Reader7

        STOP LOOKING AT PICTURES and READ !!!!
        If brains and reading were dynamite, most of you wouldn’t have enough to blow your nose !!!! NOWHERE in this article does it say the Rock is replacing Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. In fact, it doesn’t mention Pirates of the Caribbean at all !!!!!

    17. Irene Sim

      I hope your right as jack Sparrow(johnny Depp) should still be in it ,I won’t watch if he isn’t plus a lot of people said the same 😁

    18. Shawn

      I agree with you there cause I’d boycott it. I can’t take Johnny Deep out of that franchise regardless. And in my opinion Johnny Deep is a way better actor then the rock will ever be.. don’t get me wrong the rock is good just no where near Johnny Deep at all…

    19. Don W.

      Would be totally wrong. Not even close in looks. Different attitude. The Rock to big for his own good

  2. Calico

    I think Amber’s PR team is working extra hard with this sudden spate of anti-Depp articles. No one believes this junk. Amber’s the one who’s finished, and Johnny is more beloved than ever.

    1. Michael

      If Johnny Depp does not continue as Jack then I will never watch anything they produce.

      1. Dale

        I think his role and the franchise itself has had its day. It has been played out and there is not many more ways to go with it anymore.

      2. Jessica Chaney

        This article is talking about the him replacing Johnny Depp as the most popular actor. It has nothing to do with his role as Jack Sparrow. The title of the article and picture are deceiving.

      3. Andrea

        No one can replace Johnny Depp, or He ry Cavill. Wake up Disney before you take some more loses.

        1. Geraint

          What’s Henry Cavil got to do with Disney?

      4. Agreed poor Walt Disney had a dream and he is rolling in his grave to what they’re doing to that dream. Apologize to Johnny and bring him back for the fans so he can finish the franchise the way it needs to be done. HE IS THE ONLY CAPTAIN JACK… WE WON’T GO SEE ANY OTHER!

    2. Steve

      This site is run by some serious Twitterites.

      1. Shelley

        Won’t watch if Jonny gets replaced. Either will any of my family or friends

        1. Adam

          Fantastic beasts was hard enough without Johnny Depp

          1. Dale

            I think his role and the franchise itself has had its day. It has been played out and there is not many more ways to go with it anymore.

          2. J.J

            Johnny Depp #1 many more plots to go!!! Rock stay in your lane!!!!

          3. Dale

            When Depp was in Fantastic Beasts, everyone criticised his role, and didn’t like that he replaced Colin Farrell

          4. Debbie

            Dwayne Johnson will never be as good as Johnny Depp in anything and that includes acting. Without Johnny Depp POTC will sink to the bottom of the sea. Disney and all

          5. Jay

            Fantastic Beasts was hard enough to watch with Johnny Depp

        2. Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow, period!
          Big (as usual) Disney flub. DJ don’t do it. You’ll regret it. Or, take the money knowing the outcome. It’s not your fault but also not your role enen with your great faces. Sorry man.

        3. Jessica

          This article is talking about the him replacing Johnny Depp as the most popular actor. It has nothing to do with his role as Jack Sparrow. The title of the article and picture are deceiving.

      2. Bert

        But you’re commenting so you just can’t stay away…

    3. Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow, period!
      Big (as usual) Disney flub. DJ don’t do it. You’ll regret it. Or, take the money knowing the outcome. It’s not your fault but also not your role enen with yiur great faces. Sorry man.

  3. Merry

    I don’t believe that!! Johnny Depp is a great actor, very versatile, and just awesome! Dwayne Johnson isn’t even comparable, he’s ok, but no where near as good as JD.

    1. Jessica

      This article is talking about him replacing Johnny Depp as the most popular actor. It has nothing to do with his role as Jack Sparrow. The title of the article and picture are deceiving.

  4. Joann

    Dwayne Johnson is over rated… he’s not a actor he’s a wrestler pretending to be an actor. Hence Black ADAM” SUCKED”
    He’s definitely not replacing Johnny depp, if he is. . . The franchise is over… he’s not pirate material

    1. RagdollMama

      I agree. DJ isn’t in the same league as JD and I’m sick of him being in so many movies. It’s ridiculous!

  5. Wayne

    Perfect choice for this generation. No character but the one he can play, himself…

    1. John

      Sounds like you just described Johnny Depp, he plays the same character in most of his movies. I know if Depp is in it to keep my expections very low because he is bound to disappoint.

  6. If Johnny is not Jack Sparrow then Disney needs to shut the doors. If this is true, then our American film industry and people producers Ect. Are the meanest most ridiculous humans alive. Totally. They have lost their minds. Also Duane Johnson is stupid in my opinion to have even accepted the position if he did. Hopefully this isn’t true.

    1. Calan

      Hopefully what isn’t true? This article didn’t say anything about him being in pirates of the caribbean. You obviously can’t read properly otherwise you n most of the other people commenting wouldn’t be ranting about something that was never even mentioned. Y’all ain’t too bright.

  7. I am sorry but I do not accept this. If Johnny Depp is not Jack Sparrow, NO ONE IS! 😡 OUR American movie companies and entertainment industry can just close the doors. And Duane Johnson was not smart when excepting Johnny’s part. Potc and Jack Sparrow Belong to Johnny Depp. Period. He needs this more than Duane. Duane will NEVER BE Johnny.

  8. NOPE that will be a huge disaster for Disney. They already bombed with the CEO hello IGOR STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN , WE WANT DEPP. GET IT, NOW APOLOGIZE, AND GE T HIM BACK. YOU WILL LOOSE,
    GEN Z OR NOT, ALL OF US HAVE SPOKEN , GET JD Back, BTW JUNGLE STUNK.

  9. J Robbins

    I’m sorry. But not even close to being the actor Johnny is, and never will be. He adds no depth to the characters he has played. And for sure will never be remembered for any of them. Johnny takes a role and brings it to life, he becomes the characters he portrays, and the viewers “feel” that character.

    1. John

      When ever I see Depp in a movie it feels like the same character he has played for decades. I would say Depp is not very good and his movies aren’t as enjoyable as Dwayne Johnson’s. My expectations are always very low when I see Depp linked to a movie, he isn’t any better than actor’s I’ve seen in a lot of SyFy movie’s, and I never understood the love people have for him.

  10. Nicole

    I haven’t seen much of Dewayne Johnson at all whether it’s wrestling or acting. But I can say that Johnny Depp is an American icon. He is one if not the best actors I’ve seen. I enjoy Johnnys work. Johnny is not only an actor but a musician and an artist. His paintings are amazing. I will forever cherish Johnny Depp. He’s the greatest.

  11. Jessica

    This article is talking about Dwayne Johnson replacing Johnny Depp as the most popular actor. The article said it was decided among Gen-Zers. It has nothing to do with his role as Jack Sparrow. The title of the article and picture are both deceiving.

  12. Christine Tullock

    Who wrote this garbage? Mr rottenborn? You are grasping at straws with this article. Compare johnnys career and movies to those mentioned 😂😂😂 no one compares to his brilliant performances! He doesn’t even go by your crap script he makes it up as he goes why do you think it sells 😂 Johnny also listens to music while he is acting give me an actor who can do that. If disney is getting ready to tell us that they can’t get Johnny back after all the articles saying that they are 🧐 you might considering just ending pirates instead of writing this article and making yourself look bad!

    1. Jesse

      Did you even read the article Christine?

  13. Billie Bryant

    Disney can get anyone they want to replace johnny Depp , I will not spend a dime watching the replacement. I won’t spend my money in anything Disney. They did not stand behind one of the best actors . I won’t be buying anything that has Disney logo on it .

  14. Charles

    If it were true, it wouldn’t surprise me.
    Disney has developed a pattern of holding a razor to its own throat these days.

  15. Jelfo

    No no no no. BlackAdamflopped. His Die Hard remake was crap. He cannot be the new JackSparrow. If they cannot have JD and orlando and Winslet then they need to stop making those films. Please Dwanta does not fit this part.

  16. Congrats.
    Super Actor replacing the super Actor of the originals.
    Can’t get any better than that.
    Keep the happy going for generations to come.Wonderful actor and wear so many hats in the entertainment world.

  17. phillysub

    It is obvious that some commenters either did not actually read the article or have an issue with comprehending what they read.

    1. Jay

      It’s both

  18. Kid

    No won’t watch the movie if Johnny’s not in it.it wouldn’t be any good without him in it

  19. TEAM JOHNNY DEPP

    TEAM JOHNNY DEPP

  20. Kim

    IF YOU EVEN CONSIDER REPLACING JOHNNY DEPP, THE PIRATES SAGA WILL BE TOAST 😡

  21. Clifton Brewer

    Read the article people. There’s nothing about replacing JD with DJ. They are only talking about popularity among genZers.

  22. Greg

    I think Mr. Boardwine is trying to say that Mr. Johnson replaced Mr. Depp as the most popular actor with Gen Z viewers. He made no reference in the “high points” of this article to the Pirates franchise.
    This article was poorly written by not presenting the complete subject … What was presented was only a portion of the subject – which led to questions.
    I’ll never get back the 2 minutes that I wasted reading and commenting on this article. 🙁

  23. Sarah

    I wandered what the heck anyone could have to say about this non-news… turns out they just didn’t bother reading it and now I suddenly understand how this juvenile website continues to operate… I’m going bac tho Kenny the Pirate.

  24. Mitchell

    Johnny Depp is the only Jack Sparrow that will work. If they replace him the series would be dead. Amber Heard ruined her career and probably Depp’s.

  25. member

    Are you kidding Disney knows Dwayne can’t act like Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow himself. And tell Disney and the rest of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie makers & acter characters don’t f–k with Johnny it’s not his fault it’s Gore Verbinski’s & Keira Knightley’s who did this to him. But how could they?

    1. member

      That goes for Geoffrey Rush & Penelope Cruz too.

  26. D.Coley

    Is this a joke? I mean you can’t be serious if they remove Johnny Depp they will lose a lot of money I can’t even imagine how much it will cost them in the long run. Dwayne Johnson as Jack Sparrow LMAO!

  27. A Paul

    almost certainly untrue. terrible casting if it is true

  28. Pedro

    Only 1 Jack Sparrow.. Johnny Depp, end of

  29. Maggie

    Bad choice! No sense watching it now. I love both actors but can’t see Johnson in this at all. Not going well for Disney.

  30. Laura

    The Rock is likeable and all, but not as unique, interesting, talented as Johnny Depp. In fact, the younger the generation, the less unique and interesting the stars get, imo.

  31. Fatima

    Are we surprised? Johnny Depp is OVER! he ruined his own career and he won’t come back. his prime was years ago now all he has left is his crazy fans.

    maybe he can take the freetime to take care of his family. hasnt visitied them in a while ive been told lol

  32. Lina

    Depp sure has lost his relevancy. It’s time for him to give up on acting, not like anyone would miss him.

    1. Really? You have got to be kidding. Johnny Depp is not obsolete.😡

  33. Ben

    One is a wifebeater. The other a well liked, down to eart actor.
    Easy.

  34. Donna

    There is no replacement for Johnny Depp! Especially in Pirates!!

  35. No, no, and no. Johnny Depp is captain Jack. He was found innocent of all charges. What excuse is there for not letting him continue his career. With a clean sheet.

  36. Pls no, I prefer Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Wouldn’t be the same without him. Don’t get me wrong the rock is a good actor but prefer Johnny

  37. Kenny

    (Only Johnny Depp) the other maybe good for the other roles.. But Jack Sparrow he is the icon.. Think about it bring Tom Cruise in to be Jack Sparrow .. 🙄

  38. Sara

    Just Johnny Depp

  39. Syras

    That is a rocky adventure

  40. Sharon B

    No Johnny Depp, no POTC.
    I love the Rock but he can’t hold a candle to Johnny Depp!

  41. sheribear

    No Johnny no more PoC!! I won’t watch or own it.y collection will end with #5.

  42. Cheryl Harrington

    Johnny Depp is the only one who can play Jack Sparrow and pirates!! Oh, now Walt Disney wants that female Margot? And do a female version. But I see she’s been cut out for the time being. Now Rock? I thought he backed out? But Disney needs to apologize to Johnny and let him do this last Pirates. He probably wouldn’t do any more maybe if all the fans wanted him . But I believe he’s already made a deal with Disney and going to do P6.l don’t know where Dwayne Johnson came in?? He’s a wrestler . He’s got a lot of muscles and I just can’t picture him as Jack Sparrow I think Johnny wants to explore new avenues with his singing and guitar playing with Beck. There has been some talk of Downy and Depp making a movie together. Disney you’ve cut off your nose to spite your face. Johnny Depp made Walt Disney billions of dollars worldwide. Well, for me if they have anyone else I won’t watch it..I go back and watch the movies Johnny Depp was in…I just can’t picture a female jack Sparrow.
    My opinion… God bless Johnny Depp… Praying for your success!!!!

  43. CJ

    As much as LOVE the Rock it’s a no for me. I have my collection so I’m done with the franchise.

    1. Chris

      Johnny Depp just has a way of bringing his character to another level that other actors can’t do. Dwayne Johnson has his own style but it’s the same in every movie, like the way he walks and talks. Also JD said he will not work with Disney if they want him back. So no more Jack Sparrow, the franchise is dead.

  44. Tim

    The Rock doesn’t deserve half of what he got. He is a wresler at heart and acts as good as the wrestling you see on TV without a script and wrestling moves he’s nothing.

    Definitely will not see it. Even when it goes on cable.JD will always be captain Jack Sparo!!!❤

  46. No, no, no Johnny Depp is captain Jack. He was proved innocent of all charges in court. Let him resume his career as such!!

  47. Michelle

    This whole article is crap. Lol. It has absolutely nothing to do with the title. Johnny Depp will always be Jack Sparrow . End of story.

  48. Clay

    Dwayne Johnson doesn’t have the comedy chops to your place Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow

  49. Johnny Depp is and always will be Jack Sparrow. I collect anything on Johnny Depp as he is my favorite actor and collecting Johnny Depp is one of my hobbies, and I have a nice collection on Johnny Depp.

  50. JSH

    Well… You got me! I thought this was a Pirates story…

  51. The Rock is good, but he is NOT the ‘be all, end all’ that you want to make him. Give us a break!

  52. Dennis Cronin

    Captain ! Captain , Jack Sparrow . Always remember , you can never replace Captain Jack Sparrow.

  53. Jay

    Nice incomplete sentence at the end there!
    Yes, from what I understand this is NOT about “Pirates of the Caribbean”. It is about popularity among a specific age group.

  54. TheSpider

    Who cares? They are both Hollyweird pedos bound for hell! Eschew these evil freaks.

  55. Mike

    People keep commenting that “Noo Dwayne will never be Jack Sparrow” “not my pirate” etc… that’s not what the article says. It’s referencing that Dwayne is the new generations most popular actor, whereas before it was Depp.. Learn to read, people!

  56. Can’t stand him…!
    Not an actor just a wrestler, yea, a rock.
    ..Between the ears..

  57. Bidensux

    We didn’t choose you anymore than we chose to destroy splash mountain. What Mickey Mao wants, Mickey Mao gets

  58. Greg

    Jack Sparrow was brought to life by Johnny Depp. To have him replaced would end the franchise (FOREVER). Don’t get the wrong idea the rock is an awesome actor but no one could (EVER) replace Depp as captain Jack Sparrow.

  59. Jose

    This is trash lol pirates is dead

  60. Fyah

    Johnny Depp is my favorite pirate, no way the rock cou)d replace him… I was like or hell no🤦‍♀️

  61. J

    There is no one who can play Jack!! I won’t watch it without him.

  62. LQJonas

    Another poorly written article where you have to scroll to the bottom to finish and out where Johnson replaced Depp.
    Article could have been done in a paragraph.

  63. Stephanie

    NO! No good!

  64. Nicole

    I thought that I was going to read an article saying that The Rock was going to replace Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s cool that it wasn’t that, and I wish for the best for them both, but especially Johnny Depp for obvious reasons.

  65. Colleen

    While that’s gonna suck. I love the Rock but he just isn’t the same as Johnny. Jim Carry is about the only one that might be able to be a good Jack sparrow.
    Disney you really screwed the pooch. On this one. I’d just end it while your ahead.💔

  66. Anon

    I guess I read a different article that everyone else in here, no where is it saying that he’s replacing johnny. It’s just taking about how he’s this beloved new actor (and in my opinion he’s overrated. It’s just like when wwe was trying to push Roman reigns)

  67. Trish

    No way. It will be ruined. Hopefully Johnny Depp will take his true place as Jack Sparrow or no one….I don’t think anyone could take his place….

  68. Al

    After reading these comments. It’s obvious a lot people didn’t read the article. Dwayne Johnson
    Is an icon.😊

  69. Dude

    Thank you for ruining our childhood movie by replacing Johnny Depp not looking forward for this movie just ruined pirates of the Caribbean

  70. Deborah

    No No No No No!
    Johnny Depp IS Jack Sparrow!
    Dwayne Johnson is NO Jack Sparrow!
    He would ruin the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise!
    A BAD BAD MOVE!

  71. Leah

    No……. If Jonny is replaced then I’m done like forever

  72. Leah

    If Jonny is replaced then you have ruined my life forever

  73. Tim Stewart

    NOOOOOO……!!!!!!!

  74. Maureen Edmondson

    I will not watch , I love Dwayne , but , NO ONE CAN REPLACE JOHNNY ! Good luck with ratings ……?????? Big question on the pick !!!!!??????

  75. Steve

    Rock could have been great, but made poor movie choices from the jump. Now he just needs to come clean about his PED use to gain any real respect.

  76. RL

    Did you guys read the article? It’s NOT Johnson playing Jack. And for the record, the franchise IS dead. God help us if they made yet another one. I have not watched since the 3rd. That was 2 too many honestly!!!

    Johnson is no where near the top of my (nor my friends) list. Nor my son”s or his friends’ lists. Idk who they were asking but I gotta wonder what questions they were asking!

  77. Stephenie

    Disney, get your head on straight…..it’s Depp for Jack !

  78. Phyllis

    Johnny is Jack Sparrow..Enough Said!

  79. Jauu

    Good! Depp don’t deserve the role anymore

  80. Look Johnny IS JACK….NO WAY CAN HE BE REPLACED…It will be a bad idea to change now…It won’t be the same…Johnson is great in his movies, but Johnny Depp owns his part as Capt Jack Sparrow…….

  81. Rebecca

    No no no!!! There’s only one Jack Sparrow. Not only will I not watch it….I’ll be picketing out front!!!!

  82. John Shirley

    There’s only one Capt Jack Sparrow and anyone other than Johnny Depp steps in would be a crime.

  83. Caitlin Isbell

    JOHNNY DID Make Jack Himself, His OWN Cause Anyone Looks Back At The Scene Where Johnny Finds The Jar Of Dirt To Put The Heart Inside So They Wouldn’t Know And Comes Out Running With It, And When He’s On The Ship Walking With It In His Hands And Says, “I Got A Jar Of Dirrrt, I Got A Jar Of Dirrrt, Guess What’s Inside Of Ittt!” ALLL Of That Was NOT SCRIPTED ONCE Or Made By DISNEY And Their Minds From THEM For HIS Character! NOOO! It Was JOHNNY HIMSELF That Did It RANDOMLY OUT OF NOWHERE, UNSCRIPTED, WASNT ALREADY Apart Of The Movie, HE ADDED IT HIMSELF SPONTANEOUSLY, For FUN, And Jokes!! HIS WHOLE Character Of JACK Has Been Created By JOHNNY HIMSELF, HIS LINES Made Up By HIMSELF, NOTT DISNEY ONCE EVER!!! So, NOO!! They CANT Replace JOHNNY As Jack When JOHNNY MADE, And CREATED JACK HIMSELF COMPLETELY WITH EVERYTHING!!!

  84. Only one Jack Sparrow and that is Johnny Depp. If you replace him with anyone else I will never watch again. No one can do the role better than Johnny Depp. Period, No one.

  85. John

    Would make pirate’s of the Caribbean more interesting and funny The Rock would work 🎉😂😂😂😂😂

  86. Horrible. We watch only Johnny D

  87. Dc

    Dwayne Johnson can never replace Johnny Depp bad thought.That would be a bad Woke movement

  88. Rose

    No one cud ever replace J. Depp! Period. And I can’t stand when Hollywood uses an actor up until ur sick of seeing them in everythg. Rocks shelf life is closing in.

  89. Barbara

    I think Johnny Depp should still be Capt Jack Sparrow. He fits the part beautifully and perfectly.
    The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, would just bring the ratings way down so there would be no more pirates of the Caribbean movies.

  90. Barbara

    It would be a big mistake to replace johnny Depp in those movies.

  91. Rhian

    Even if there’s any truth to this, the answer’s no. No offense to The Rock; I love him as an actor. But Johnny had his career and his iconic roles stolen from him by that harpy. He deserves his roles back, and I won’t support any Pirates until Disney makes what they did to him right.

    1. Becki

      I agree 1000%

  92. Aaron Saxon

    Bwahahahaha! Johnny Depp will always be a far better and more popular actor over Dwayne Johnson anyway! Must have polled on a WWE site.

  93. Khalid Armaan Hussain

    No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no…….

  94. Jesse

    You’ve got the facts wrong about when his last wrestling match was – his last one was actually in 2016, and prior to that, his last match was in 2013 against John Canada- not quite over a decade ago. Should probably check your research next time.

  95. L

    It has ZERO to do with Johnson being cast in Pirates. Just a popularity poll. So 🛑 your misdirected sniveling and whining and learn to read.

  96. Becki

    NO NO NO
    NO ONE !!!!!!CAN REPLACE JOHNNY DEPP AS CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW. IT WON’T BE THE SAME. DON’T GET ME WRONG I LIKE DWAYNE JOHNSON BUT HE’S JUST NOT MADE FOR THAT PART. IT’S NOT BELIEVABLE JOHNNY DEPP WAS BELIEVABLE. HE WAS CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES ANYWAY SO HE SHOULD HAVE HIS JOB ASACK SPARROW BACK ALSO. SAD SAD DAY IN AMERICA.

  97. Bianca Lima

    As much as I like DJ, there’s only one Jack Sparrow and his name is Johnny Depp.

  98. Crystal

    Oh Heck no Johnson is no Johnny Depp. Depp is captain Jack Sparrow and will always be. I understand that these gen Z like him but really you want to listen to a generation that eats tide pods and put gorilla glue in their hair REALLY DISNEY GET REAL.

  99. Liz Brogna

    No, it should not happen . Dwayne is ok but he’s not Jack Sparrow. Sorry.

  100. Nicole

    The picture was just to get our attention, but facts, only Depp can play Jack Sparrow.

  101. Rita Doherty

    I really like the Rock and his movies but no one can replace Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow…I think they should keep Johnny as that creator.
    The movie will not be the same without him!!!

  102. Love the Rock ….
    but he will Flop as a Pirate
    You either put Johnny Depp in or you are fired

  103. It is obvious! The people have spoken!! And no disrespect to the Rock. But this is johnny Depps creation

  104. Dawn

    He was removed as playing Capt Jack Sparrow….this is untrue

  105. MissNovaIvo

    I just wanna Johnny Depp still as a Jack Sparrow n always..💖🥰💞

  106. Ryan

    Good!!!

  107. Jw

    Johnson is sooooo overated.
    Can’t stand anything he is involved in. So up himself…….
    Have I said enough

  108. Tom J

    I like Dwayne Johnson movies, however, ONLY Johnny Depp can ever play Jack Sparrow.

  109. Kyle Denny

    Face it, Depp is a has been wife beater who should just crawl back into the bottle where he belongs and prefers to be.

  110. Andie77

    I think you’re having a nightmare. The rock is definitely not someone I ever watch on anything he’s done. The man isn’t even in the same league as JD. Enough already.

  111. Merri

    As much as I love The Rock, there is only ONE Jack Sparrow and that’s JOHNNY DEPP. If anyone takes his place, Pirates won’t be worth watching.

  112. Krzystof

    Love Dwayne Johnson, he is a great funny guy and Depp added comic relief to the PotC franchise. But, Depp was a swashbuckling, shorter, slim guy. The Rock is much taller and nearly twice Depp’s weight, an intimidating opponent for most, he would not suit the part of Capt. Jack Sparrow at all.

  113. Charz

    I bet this isn’t even true lol. It sounds like a solid smear campaign that Disney is using to try to get people to think it’s ok to drop Depp for baseless rumors. This sounds like Disney covering their own a**. For sure. Lol.

  114. Gerry Guevara

    Yeah, that’s a big NO!!! No way Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock can ever replace Johnny Depp! Johnson’s acting chops are not even worthy to be in the same room or uttered in the same sentence as the iconic Jack Sparrow star!!!

  115. Daniel

    BS this is got to be BS first I will say I like the Rock BUT replacing Johnny WITH ANYONE is completely BS. I Will not watch ANY Pirate’s of the Caribbean WITHOUT Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Disney go …. Yourselfs if you think this will stand with us TRUE FANs.

  116. Emina

    If Johnny Depp doesn’t play captain Jack Sparrow, they can end franchise.

  117. Amy

    Leave Johnny alone, he was proven INNOCENT in an American court of law. He’s gone through enough, but enough. UGH!👎

  118. Adam

    They’re literally just saying The rock has over taken Johnny Depp as the more popular of the two actors with Gen Z movie goers. Doesn’t in anyway shape or form say he will be taking over for Johhny Depp’s movies. Reading comprehension.

  119. ~theresalynn817

    Disney would be making a huge mistake if ANYONE, especially Dwayne Johnson replaces Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow… no one plays him better!
    Nothing against Johnson, I like him, but I personally don’t want to see him in every movie out there

  120. Marcie winfree

    I am confuted, I am a big Johnny Depp fan and he is a perfect pirate for that, I can’t imagine changing the character in the middle of the story kind of messes up the story for the imagination but I would love to see the new actor as a pirate he’s sexy as he can be and that would be a new one for him to add to his portfolio so I say whatever comes it is what it is I think it’ll still be a great show of character prayers for Johnny Depp

  121. Cecille

    Jungle Cruise did not do well in the box office
    (per Wikipedia budget is 200M Box Office 220M) as well as Black Adam. An award should be given to someone who has successful track record of box office performance in his own movie – a solo starer. No offense Dwayne Jihnson can not replace Johnny Depp and Henry Cavill

  122. Caleb

    I thought this meant he would be the new jack sparrow.. my heart literally dropped and all I felt was dread. Glad to see that is not true because potc would be dead!

  123. Enos

    Ain’t no one replacing jack they can only be one jack sparrow what a character

  124. Sue

    If it’s true it bc the color of his skin.

  125. Doug

    The article is not about Dwayne Johnson being Jack Sparrow. They’re talking about Dwayne being more popular in his new movies compared to Johnny in his old movies. Johnny Depp is but one movie away from taking the popularly rating back.

  126. Bonita Williams Napier

    Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow why aren’t you listening to his fans

  127. Luis

    I agree 👍
