1 h, nov 3, 2021 y - DAILY MAIL There's no franchise without him': Kevin McNally insists Johnny Depp MUST return to POTC

Description:

Johnny Depp's Pirates Of The Caribbean co-star Kevin McNally has spoken out in defense of the actor and insisted he must return to the franchise.

The star, 65, who played Johnny's character Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate Joshamee Gibbs across all five movies, spoke to Express about the disgraced actor, who has come under fire for his bitter spat with his ex Amber Heard.

Amid ongoing discussion of the possibility of the return of Jack Sparrow, Kevin insisted he is an integral part of the franchise, and insisted: 'I have never seen a hint of a dark side to him', in the wake of 'woman beater' allegations.

He said: 'I think there was a general feeling that without Jack there is no Pirates franchise. And there's probably a lot of truth in that.'
