    Depp and only Depp. At least he can act. Those other two are
    inanimate tree trunks.

    Anything Disney puts out I won’t buy .my money is not going to anything Disney. Disney didn’t back their best box office draw , Disney can do without my money.

      Exactly, Johnny Depp is thee only actor. To portray. Jack Sparrow. I don’t want to see The Rock in his replacement. Just sickening. Johnny Depp made that role. What it is. I eill never take my children to and Disney movie or there theme park,s, no more Disney Merchandise either!

    NoJohnnyNoPirates! It’s really that simple @Disney!
    Anything else will FAIL!

    1. Frostydog

      Any franchise the Rock touches… fails… due to his smug “I’m
      better than everyone else and you better worship me attitude. Jhony is ireplaceable.

        I am a huge Depp fan, but your statement is inaccurate. Dwayne doesn’t have that kind of attitude at all. Franchises don’t fail because he is in them … That is just foolish to say. As for him replacing Johnny, they aren’t talking about him being in pirates. They are talking about him leading a Disney franchise in general.

        1. Raymond vasquez

          Agree ,some people misunderstood.

    2. You do realize there are more pirates then 1 in the entire world, Let Disney build a real franchise.

  4. Star

    No one can replace Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow and Disney should take that as the final people’s decision.

    1. Don

      Disney your making a huge mistake! No JD no pirates!

    2. Alan

      Dwayne can only portray action movies, where as Dave is more versitile in his acting ability, but neither are in the same league or even close to Johnny

    Any franchise the Rock touches… fails… due to his smug “I’m
    better than everyone else and you better worship me attitude. Jhony is ireplaceable.

    1. Jesus

      As for acting Dave Bautista is better

      1. Mike k

        I think Johnny Depp is Jack Sparrow and Jack Sparrow is Johnny Depp and that it if anyone else tries to play this character the franchise will fail to continue so please 🙏 Mr. Depp reconsider and please show us your acting greatness as the character you put on the screen for us to see.

    Everyone knows that johnny Depp is the one and only .And if johnny Depp is not in it l will not watch the movie.

  7. Dora

    There’s no Captain Jack with Johnny…… He made that character his own. Don’t try to fix it.

    1. T.

      There is Only ONE Captain Jack Sparrow! Johnny Depp gave gave his amazing talent to an ungrateful company! His fans will never accept another actor to wear the shoes of a character that a genius took to perfection! Don’t ruin your career Dwayne Johnson by playing a part in which you will be despised for doing.

    As for acting as acting skills I say Dave Bautista is way better.

    1. Rosheeda I Whitthorne

      I have not seen Dave sing, do a native dance, show range in his acting or come off as a charismatic person/performer so I don’t see him replacing Dewayne.

  9. Irma

    The Rock is the best humble actor I known in the movies industry’s 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

    1. kate Wilson

      I disagree with you I think Johnny depp is the most humble person in the world 🌎 well certainly the movie industry he’s brilliant and a genuine decent human with a kind heart and soul

  10. Dorothy Lucenda Jenkins

    The Pirates of the Caribbean will never be the same without Johnny Depp. If they try to replace him it would be disastrous.

  11. Kevin

    Quit saying, “the likes of…” You used that phrase too many times in this piece to no effect. It adds nothing. The first time made sense when you were referencing a representative group. Otherwise it’s extraneous.

  12. Gazz

    No one can replace jack Sparrow. They shd just create a new character for Dwayne Johnson rather than have him fill shoes too big for him.

    1. Kumori

      They aren’t talking about him playing Jack. They aren’t even talking about him being in Pirates at all actually. They are just talking about him leading a Disney franchise. More than likely, Jungle Cruise.

  13. Scooter

    Depp is a legend but Baptista is better than the rock The rock only acts one way David can dig deep and is funnier

  14. Paul

    Dave Bautista’s dramatic flair really showed in Bladerunner 2049….

  15. Diane

    No one can replace Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow and Disney should take that as the final people’s decision.

  16. Patricia

    THERE IS ONLY ONE CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW—THE ONE AND ONLY JOHNNY DEPP!!! NO ONE CAN TAKE HIS PLACE!!

  17. SB

    If I were Gen Z I would start wanting to deny my age. Because this is BS. Who in their right minds wants to replace JD with this dude. Messed up.

  18. LeeAnn Shaver

    I love “The Rock”, bit not as much as Johnny Depp. I will not be watching POTC if Johnny isn’t playing Jack Sparrow.

  19. Jon Jon

    The question was “is Dave Bautista better than The Rock”, my answer is no, he has the potential yes, better he is not a better actor than The Rock, a better wrestler maybe, but not an actor! And I agree with most people on here’s there’s only ONE Jack Sparrow and that is Johnny Depp!!

  20. Johnny SAVAGE tha Latin lover

    It’s going to suck with the Rock I won’t pay to watch it. Only Johnny Depp can play that roll

  21. Pamela Davis

    No Johnny Depp. No pirates of the Caribbean. And I’ll never watch anything Disney again. Y’all screwed up big time.JD is Captain Jack Sparrow!

  22. Joel

    The rock is not a good actor he just plays the rock Dave is a better actor not great but better

  23. Cheryl

    Nobody puts Johnny in a corner! Only one Depp and no one can replace his acting abilities. He made Jack Sparrow what he is and no one else can. I like DW but if they had a movie playing at the same time slot….my choice is gonna be JD every single time.

  24. Raymond vasquez

    Agree ,some people misunderstood.

  25. Kim

    Johnny depp is the only actor for the pirates. You’ll loose BIG TIME! YA CAN’T FIX STUPID

  26. Dylan

    Yeh I agree, I’ve found hi. Good in films I’ve hated. That’s a sign for me that he is good haha. I think that softness and quiete intelligence behind that big hulking body is why. The rock goes full confidence and macho, and it probably works for him, but it’s not my thing

  27. DaveNoBueno

    Dave Bautista is never going to be more liked because he’s not a likeable person. He had almost no friends in the wrestling biz, he’s a miserable, ungrateful prick and he has about 5% of the charm and charisma that Dwayne has. His acting may be great but he’s never going to be loved the way Rock is.

  28. Mika Burke

    In honest opinion, “The Rock” is good as an actor for dominate roles, such as Hobbs (Fast & Furious Franchise). Bautista has an over all broader spectrum, he actually is more sensitive to world that The Rock. Bautista may not look like he’d be a good actor, but he actually has a wide range of talents he’s obviously using to help him in the acting world.

    But I’ll still always be a Johnny Depp fan.

  29. Faye

    There is only one Captain Jack Sparrow…Disney us an epic fail, theg did not stand behind their biggest box office draw…I have cancelled my Disney+ subscription. Dwayne Johnson is a hack next to Depp.

  30. G

    Dwayne Johnson cannot act. Periodt.

  31. No offense to to Dwayne Johnson but Gen Z I agree that Johnson has appeared in the movies u listed but he was not the solo star in the movies u listed except 4 Black Adam. Is Black Adam a blockbuster? Nobody can replace Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Gen Z I& Warner bros I challenge u to produce The Pirate of the Carribean with The Rock as Capt. Jack Sparrow & let us see if Dwayne Johnson really out beat Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. JOHNNY DEPP IS CAPT. JACK SPARROW remember that

  32. Barbara Rose

    If Johnny Depp does not play Jack Sparrow in any future Pirates movie it will be dead in the water before it hits the screen. What don’t they understand? He is “Pirates of The Caribbean”!
