Johnny Depp’s fans want him back as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have made countless headlines thanks to their years-long legal battle. Things especially heated up when the two met in court in Virginia for their defamation trial, of which Depp was largely the victor. As he heads into appeal with Heard, the petition to bring him back for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 has quickly racked up a ton of signatures.

With cameras in the courtroom, the public was able to watch every moment that occurred during Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial. This includes their days of testimony, which were made into countless memes. Both actors’ lawyers have submitted appeals on the verdict, so the situation is still unfolding. And as fans wait on bated breath, the Change.Org petition asking Depp to be hired back for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 is currently at over 750k signatures and fast approaching that million mark.

Disney currently has plans for two different Pirates of the Caribbean projects, one of which will star Margot Robbie. But neither of these plans seem to include Johnny Depp, who played Captain Jack Sparrow throughout all of the previous installments. And some fans are making their thoughts known in hopes that this decision is reversed. Since we last covered the petition months ago, hundreds of thousands more signatures have joined the cause.

Johnny Depp’s relationship with Disney and tenure in Pirates of the Caribbean came up a number of times throughout his defamation trial with Amber Heard. Depp’s team of lawyers implied that Heard’s 2018 op-ed is part of the reason why he wasn’t asked to continue playing the role. On the other hand, some testimony showed the strained relationship he reportedly had with the studio while shooting and promoting the movies.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
