Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean return hopes improved as petition closes in on goal

JOHNNY DEPP fans have banded together in their thousands to call for Disney to reinstate the star as Captain Jack Sparrow in the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and they are nearing their goal.

By Callum Crumlish

In 2018 it was revealed Johnny Depp would not be a part of the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean films. The Disney movies were based on a Disney World theme park ride of the same name and starred Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. His dismissal from the role followed claims he had been violent towards his wife at the time, Amber Heard. Shortly after it was confirmed Depp had been let go, a petition was started calling for the 58-year-old to be reinstated.

The petition, titled We want JOHNNY DEPP back as CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW, was started in 2019 by fans of the actor.

Last year, the petition reached the milestone of 300,000 signatures from fans around the world.

Since then, its signature target has been placed at 1 million - a milestone it has almost reached.

At the time of writing the petition has 663,634 signatures on Change.org.

This is obviously a massive swell of support for Depp, who has since claimed he would love to return to play the swashbuckling antihero. Fans have been commenting on the petition as well, with one writing: "Pirates of the Caribbean is more than just a movie to me it’s my entire childhood and Johnny deep is what this movie is all about without him there is no movie he’s the main character and he’s the only one that can play this roll perfectly so please don’t ruin another classic." (sic) Another impassioned fan said: "Johny Depp is the face of the Pirates of the Carribean movies. We NEED him. I certainly will not be Watching it if he is not present in the movie. I can't even imagine a pirates if the caribbean movie with Johny Depp playing Jack Sparrow!! Everyone share this petition, We need our famous Jack Sparrow played by Johny Depp." (sic) A third added: "Johnny Depp is the only Jack sparrow. It just won’t be the same without him. Come one be realistic, without jack sparrow you have no movie!" (sic)

It doesn't seem as if Depp will be making a return at the moment, however. In 2018 Disney executive Sean Bailey confirmed the star would not be coming back.

"He told The Hollywood Reporter: "We want to bring in a new energy and vitality. I love the [Pirates] movies, but part of the reason [writers] Paul [Wernick] and Rhett [Reese] are so interesting is that we want to give it a kick in the pants. And that’s what I’ve tasked them with."

Pirates of the Caribbean screenwriter Stuart Beattie said of Depp: "I think he’s had a great run. Obviously, he’s made that character his own and it’s become the thing that he’s most famous for now.

"It’s been great for him and it’s been great for us. There’s that saying: ‘Don’t frown because it’s over, smile because it happened.’ The fact that they’re rebooting something that you did means that you did something that was worth rebooting. It’s an honour."
