    Johnny Depp can do whatever he wants. He has been a number 1 entertainer so long and his iconic name is a pleasure to hear. I’m really proud of all he is. It’s not about the money he has a heart and soul that is real. I’m with him no matter what he decides. I’m rooting at your side my dear. Blessings

    1. Bev

      Totally agree

  2. Tina

    Johnny should be certainly a icon for Hollywood. He has for decades entertained us with such versatile characters and a true commitment to his work. If Disney is so concerned maybe they need to go back over the movies he starred in and do a review of the money he made for them. And who cares about Amber Heard she was just a tick bleeding him try. Better think this over Hollywood and Disney because there isn’t that many celebrities with his qualifications.

    1. Bev

      Enough of thst bimbo! Concentrate on the good Johnny has dine and the many fans who adore him. He doesn’t need Hollywood. I stand by him no nstter what.

  3. Dearldean Hall

    I won’t even go see a POC without Johnny Depp as Captain Jack I’m done with Disney

  4. Ann Borden

    I don’t think Johnny should go back to a company that didn’t have his back. He doesn’t need to.

    Johnny Depp is a multifaceted artist extraordinaire, and whether or not he returns to Hollywood or Disney is a moot point. Let him do the parts that appeal to his psyche and his talent. That is the beauty and charisma of Johnny Depp.

  6. Kaitlyn

    Pirates definitely need Jack sparrow. He is the high light. Everything else is boring. Disney didn’t do Johnny justice

  7. Terri Abby

    Why does JD look so awful these days? Why doesn’t he bathe, shave, or brush his teeth? I am a fan but he isn’t very attractive to look at anymore so I am tired of standing up for him. He needs to get it together. It’s called basic personal hygiene. Why can’t he stay sober like the rest of the band? What’s wrong with him?

    In regards to Johnny Depp and returning to the franchise no we must remember it’s his life he should have a right to live his life the way he wants to we’ve got to remember that they are human like all of us and yes they may have chosen a different path but it isn’t for us to judge
    or question he wants to do with his life

  9. Vicki

    Why does he need Hollywood??? I wouldn’t go back. Stuck to indie films and French films if he wants to act. Jmo

  10. Laurie

    I think JDs fans would all love to see him return to Disney and, for that matter WB. I believe, however, that he should not return unless both Disney and WB make things right . They have both made some absolutely horrific decisions over the past 3 or so years, when it comes to JD. He was their billion dollar movie maker. He deserved to be treated so much better than he was. The top VPs with input into cast behaved as though they were without error in any part of their lives. Oddly enough, they all wound up with egg on their faces having been so condemning of JD; an actor with whom they all had a lengthy relationship. Ironically, they’ve all lost billions of dollars having many films flop. Karma knocked.

    Disney should just retire Pirates because it’s dead without Johnny.

  12. Jennifer

    I love Johnny Depp!! I’m glad they are smart enough to keep him and pay him what he’s worth!! Disney, not so much. Johnny Depp IS Capt. Jack Sparrow, and the Pirates franchise will be nothing without him. Period.

  13. Diana Cox

    Johnny Depp does not need Disney…a company that stabbed him in the back on the word of a person who was just trying to get money from him and didn’t care to get all the facts! There will NEVER be another Pirates movie because no one else can BE Captain Jack Sparrow. If they try who will go?
    And… no thank you ITM…I do not care for anything about that ‘magical’ place any longer. They are on my Boycott list…no more parks, no merchandise, no movies and no TV channels. Nope! Go Woke…Go BROKE!!!

  14. rose

    disney left a good thing behind. in fact their biggest contributor to the bottom line. they just don’t get it. fans and stockholders are mad at their poor handling of a mega star that could put them back on their feet. depp is a true drawer. he does what he does better than most. and, boy does disney need him with their failing franchise. they messed up again!$’ dep will succeed no matter what he decides to do. he’s avant- guard, unpredictable but one helluva artist/actor/singer et al.

  15. I feel that Disney is making a stupid decision. For Heavens sake Johnny Depp was cleared and anyone who watched the trial could easily catch Heard in one lie after the other. So, Disney is dropping Mr. Depp? Well, looks like I will be boycotting Disney.

  16. Vic

    There is no Pirates of the Caribbean without Captain Jack Sparrow. No way no how

  17. Larrylizard

    It would be great to see him another pirates movie!!

  18. Mary

    Johnny Depp is irreplaceable in any Disney movie, shame on them for not standing with him! He’s an icon when it comes to movies, he puts himself fully in the role. I would watch him (as I have for years) in anything he stars in. Shame on the media who decided Amber Heard was worth believing!

  19. Dave

    BOYCOTT DISNEY! GO WOKE! GO BROKE TGEN GO BANKRUPT!!

  20. Rayna

    It will be a shame.
    IF Johnny depp doesn’t act anymore. He is one of the best actors and nobody can play jack sparrow like him I hope and pray that he will return to pirates of the caribbean not for disney but for his fans

  21. Cheryl

    Will not be seeing any Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny. Hope it tanks.

  22. Dianne

    I’m happy for him. Although I believe the fans would love to see him continue with acting.(especially with
    Disney) He is very talented.

  23. Rei

    K.. nojohnnynopirates

  24. Kista

    Disney needs Johnny much more than they realize. Without him a new POTC will be a major flop.

  25. I wouldn’t watch another P.O.T.C. WITHOUT Johnny Depp. But at the end of the day Mr Depp has to do what he feels is right for him and NO ONE ELSE. His TRUE FANS will support him no matter what the outcome he makes.

  26. Squishy Squirrel

    It’s not a number they need it’s a public apology

  27. Carolyn

    There is no pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp as jack Sparrow. It will simply be another huge failure for Disney but it seems that is what they are going for these days.

  28. I am so Happy!!! “YES” John
    Best Friends Forever 💕

  29. Shannon

    “F” Disney !!!

  30. Andy

    We need captain jack sparrow therefore we need Johnny Depp ..without captain jack is pirates goin’ to be a great movie ? Is it going to be worth the watch without jack or replacing jack sparrow ? The movie will not be the same ..a story that started with a main character needs to end with a main character ..like the real adventures of the pirates of the Carribbean..the story needs to finish with jack ..we need jack sparrow we need Johnny

  31. Mary

    Johnny should do whatever he wants to do. The way he was treated without any proof was horrible! Any so called pirate movie, without Johnny is not a movie I would see.

  32. Cheryl

    He really doesn’t need Disney anymore he has a beautiful talent in a variety of things he can do that’s just how amazing he is

  33. Nalet1

    Loyalty is not when it stands next to you on the dance floor partying but when you have NO Floor beneath you. Loyalty lends a hand to steady yourself from falling.

  34. Janette

    I wish Johnny all the best in whatever his future ventures are. He deserves it. There will never be another Captain Jack Sparrow. But i wish Amber Heard poverty & jobless. I will never watch anything with her in it.

  35. For one Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow.No one can replace his character.Disney should do everything in their power including a public apology in front of the world for not standing by him . Then get him back for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.Besides I wouldn’t pay to watch someone else play the role or even a different role in the movie .

  36. Joanne

    There is no pirates without Johnny Depp!

  37. Johnny Depp is the reason Pirates Of The Caribbean was such a smash hit. Are you kidding? He is the reason I followed the series and couldn’t miss one of them. I own all Blue Ray POTC and would be adding more, had he been the main actor. He made this role. I find it hard to believe that anyone could ever imitate, no matter who tries. If it isn’t him, I would not add it to my collection. My collection would end there. At best I will say that I might watch new movie/new actor but, would definitely be with prejudice. This saddens my heart that anyone else would even be considered. Whoever is offered the role shouldn’t take it, to avoid embarrassment. People love Captain Jack Sparrow, just the way he is. You do realize he won his case over Amber Heard, right? Besides, that should not have affected or changed something that works so well. In fact it’s up there so far that works so well doesn’t do it justice. It was and is pure genius, and that is due to Johnny Depp!! Anyone can write and produce a Pirate story/movie but it won’t work as well without the exact recipe. For POTC taking Johnny Depp out of the mixture is like taking the pig out of the blanket then , you just have a croissant at best.

    If johnny depp is not in the next pirate of the caribbean movie, I will not go see it. I’ve seen all the rest of them several times

  39. Laura

    Yes, I hope to see Johnny back to acting in films. He’s a superb actor.

  40. Sunny

    Johnny Depp need to go back to Disney if not for himself for the children who love his movies. I love watching how his takes a character and make it his.
    Examples Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissors, and the Harry Potter movies. I know he properly don’t need the money but he great in those movies.

  41. Gary

    Mr. Depp should do exactly and ultimately what his heart leads him to dos, artistically as well as personally. Whether he decides to return to “Hollywood”, or not should only be his decision. He should follow his passion.

  42. Ivy

    It’s obvious Johnny Depp does not need Disney as much as Disney needs him!! He’s doing so much better now.❤️❤️🌹🌹

  43. M. Babuin

    If I were him, I would strike a deal with Disney that he will act in one movie for free under the condition that Disney releases publicly an apology letter that Depp authors himself (that they sign).After all, he doesn’t need the $ so why not make them look horrible – which is exactly what they did to him.

    1. Billy

      A public apology isn’t going to cost them anything which is what they truly care about. The only way to make them hurt is financially. They could care less about Johnny Depp or any other actor. All they care about is bottom line. I say if they want to do an apology it had better come with something. Maybe a billion dollars or change the name from Disney to Depp. Hey kids want to go to Deppworld this summer? Or, turn on Depp+ and see what we can watch tonight. Head of to the Depp store for some new Depp merchandise.

  44. Patricia Mauch

    In my opinion The Disney corporation are simply a bunch of blind stuffed shirts who have made their biggest mistake. I’m quite sure Mr Depp is thrilled that he doesn’t have to deal with them any longer. Mr Depp shines at everything he does. I have no words to describe how talented he is. My hope for him is that he finds someone who will truly love him and want nothing in return but his love. Who will see him for exactly who he is and just want to help him find a little peace and happiness. Take care of him so he can everything he wants.

  45. Kam

    Disney must get Jhonny back in Pirates of The Carribean! Without Jhonny, the series is hopelessly inadequate!!

  46. There is no pirates 🏴‍☠️ without Johnny depp. END OF PERIOD!!

  47. There is no pirate 🏴‍☠️ with out Jonny depp. END OF PERIOD!

  48. Johnny needs to do whatever makes him happy. They can make another Pirate movie with whomever, I won’t be watching. My best to him.

  49. Shirley

    Depp has made a lot of people/companies a lot of money….image and money are always the priorities when events such as depps is at issue..hoever young children.teens.young adults and old love him as their pirate..disney will not makes as much money no matter who tthey replace him with and depp should put his pride and ill feelings aside and both should call a truce. Negotiate a deal with depp for 50 million and up to for his return as jaxk sparrow..they bothwould have a win win regarding image and. Money..we all have put the past in the past and watching JACK SPARROW ..nothing else taints image or reduces profit..let JACK SPARROW come ALIVE AGAIN…it will warm everyones heart and put a smile/laughter on all our faces..which the world needs so much more today.. LONG LIVE JACK!!!!

  50. Rachel

    Pirates is NOT Pirates without Captains Jack Sparrow. I won’t watch it without him. Also, DC Cómics, big mistake if you hire Amber Turd. I know tons of peiple who won’t watch anything with her in it. You’ll probably lose alot of followers!

  51. Bleu

    As a survivor of domestic violence, I want him to survive and thrive. He is the face of male victims, who are historically ridiculed and rejected.

  52. Deborah

    Johnny Depp is “Pirates of the Caribbean!”

  53. Leicia

    Disney will miss out on a huge profit not signing johnny Depp up for pirates of the Caribbean!! That’s for sure!

  54. Cristal G

    I think Mr. Depp can do anything he wants to do as he puts his mind to it. I am very proud of him. I am so glad that Dior stuck by him. I am so proud of him and then. I hope he knows he is very loved and respected and for the matter, he is an inspiration to us all. Don’t give up your dreams out there. I know I surely won’t. Thank you Mr. Depp.

  55. Debbie Sterner

    I would like him to do. More pirate movies only because I love to watch him act

  56. Bravo Johnny with your production company In2 Film and Dior ,you will soar and I’ve only supported you 35 yrs.Go Johnny Go

  57. Jeffrey Bernal

    Disney will fail with the next pirates of the carribian if they don’t use johnny depp.and if he decides to go back to acting at all I’m good with it either way Johnny’s the coolest I’m behind u all the way johnny.

  58. Kathy

    Johnny please come back to Disney!!! Pirates will never be Pirates without you!!!
    Plus, Disney needs to be saved!!!!

  59. I’ll never watch another Disney movie period nor will any of my family and there’s alot of us unless Johnny depo comes back as captain jack sparrow

  60. J depp should thank disney for the opportunity to reach so many of his fans and cut disney off for good. He was great before disney and he’ll be great after disney.

  61. Lynda noker

    What a bunch of crap! Who are you Disney? GOD!!! There cannnot and will not be another Jack Sparrow like Johnny Depp. for shame on you, shame on you Disney

  62. Debra

    What every he decide to do it’s his life. But I won’t every watch the I have kids the Pirates of the Caribbean since he won’t be in it

  63. Sherry zayik

    It will be a great loss for Disney but that’s his choice.Johnny depp is doing whats best for Johnny Depp and that is awesome.BRAVO…Life goes on..What comes around goes around for Dsney. though….Never in a million years they will ever find another Captain Jack Sparrow and the Pirates Of The Carribean will suffer the damage they have… consumed by wrongful decisions and the carnage they will have to clean up after themselves….Good luck to Mr Johnny Depp now and future endeavours..God Speed.

  64. Karen

    Captain Jack Sparrow IS Pirates of the Caribbean, and Johnny Depp IS Captain Jack Sparrow.

  65. October

    I’d love yo see him finish pirates of the Caribbean as captain Jack sparrow he’s just one he’ll of an amazing actor that could never be replaced for that role and with it him the movies are done

  66. Keith

    Depp is the man f the mainstream media who sht on him for years for favor of heard who bs claims, the mainstream media loved heard all the way thru until the point they knew the people saw thru the truth

  67. Linda

    I think he should do one last Pirates! He IS Jack Sparrow!

  68. Larry

    Who gives a crap about that Buddhist

  69. Terri

    Johnny Depp earned the boundless adoration of Adult & children alike by creating a Capt Jack Sparrow, a character who rode a wave between naughty, mischievous, and survivor. Somewhere boardrooms and courtrooms took Johnny away from us. We feel abandoned. If Disney tries to make a Pirates 6 no one will watch it. His Dior only touches men who have money and no family what 7% of the population? His Vampires another 5% of partiers. What about us families, children? I have to realize Johnny’s stubborn. Unforgiving. It’s true he’s aged. For awhile I thought he’d come back as a sexy Clarke Gable. But from all intents and purposes… he’s done. Washed up. At his own bidding. Breaks my heart.

  70. Rhonda

    I wish he would return to POTC. It’s not POTC without Captain Jack.

  71. PJ

    Jack Sparrow will always be Depps he owns it and no on can replace him; this accused cancel culture is redicules whatever happed to innocent until proven guilty screw these haters and those whom follow suit

  72. Sibylla

    Johny needs to do what’s best for him and what he’s comfortable doing. As much as I would be thrilled to go see another pirates of the Caribbean with him and see him in any acting role he has to do what’s right for his life.

  73. Steve Turner

    As far as I’m concerned there is no Pierce to the Caribbean without Johnny Depp

  74. Ellie

    Go Johnny!
    Screw Hollywood and Disney!!!!

  75. Bonnie

    There is no Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp. Wrap it up, fold it up. Without him it’s just a plain old movie!

  76. Of course you Disney fools you will make a zillion if you bring back the Capt.. he is legend and if you can’t see that you are blinded by the sun 🌞 of Dior
