Depp “will exit the Fantastic Beasts franchise,” according to Warner Bros. Warner Bros have found the right fit for Johnny Depp’s part and that is Mads Mikkelsen. here
After losing a libel battle in the United Kingdom against a tabloid that called him a “wife-beater,” Johnny Depp was pulled out of the Fantastic Beasts film franchise.
The A-list actor revealed on Instagram that he had been asked to resign his part as villain Gellert Grindelwald by AT&T Inc’s Warner Bros film company. He replied, “I have respected and consented to their request.”
Depp, who intends to appeal the London libel ruling, remarked that “this moment will not define my life or career.”
The publishers of the Sun tabloid were sued by the Pirates of the Caribbean star after it was reported that he had been aggressive toward his former wife Amber Heard. His casting in the Fantastic Beasts franchise was also questioned by the media.
It's not about Margot Robbie. It's about Johnny Depp losing his iconic Captain Jack Sparrow role because Amber Heard falsely accused him of abuse.more

Despite this, he continues visiting sick children, as Jack Sparrow, to cheer them up.

It’s simple .. if the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie has no Captain Jack Sparrow, no Johnny Depp, I’m not watching it . — Willy Wonka Tiktok (@WonkaTiktok) June 26, 2020here
But can we agree that Johnny Depp should still play Jack Sparrow because his lying ass ex wife fabricated stories about being abused and almost ruined his life? [links]
There have been rumors of the sixth Pirates movie eyeing Karen Gillan, Daisy Ridley, and Emma Watson for the female lead role, which is separate from what Margot Robbie is doing. Similarly, there have been unverified reports that Disney was considering bringing Depp back into the franchise after all, but that has not been confirmed. If reports are true, Pirates of the Caribbean 6 would serve as a "soft reboot" of the franchise, meaning it would still be set in the same universe while primarily following new characters. The door is clearly open for Depp to return in some capacity, even if it's limited to just a special appearance as Jack Sparrow, but time will tell if this ends up happening. You can look at some of the tweets calling for Depp to return to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise below. here
Yeah, I’d feel way more positively about this if Johnny Depp wasn’t going to the ends of the earth to prove he lost Jack Sparrow because of false allegations from Amber Heard.
Disney’s fifth Pirates adventure, ominously titled Dead Men Tell No Tales, won’t hit theaters until 2017 – but the soon-to-be blockbuster’s massive set is already being constructed on location in Queensland, Australia. more
In the movie, Johnny Depp will return to his Oscar-nominated role of Captain Jack Sparrow, joined by his new onscreen nemesis, Oscar winner Javier Bardem. Another Academy Award winner, Geoffrey Rush, is also returning to the action. more
Directors Espen Sandberg and Joachim Ronning will captain the project, which is based off the the classic Disney Theme Park attraction created in 1967. here
Captain Jack Sparrow is still two years away from swashbuckling back to the big screen, but now there’s photographic evidence that the latest installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series is well underway. [links]
When producer Jerry Bruckheimer threw his immense clout behind a big-screen adaptation of the historic Disneyland attraction The Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney’s boardroom thought it was a terrible idea. Then-CEO Michael Eisner even tried to get the film shut down, deeming it a flop-in-waiting and questioning the veracity of adaptations of theme park rides following the commercial disaster of The Country Bears. It wasn’t until Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski convinced him that the movie would be a good way for Disney to compete with lavish franchises like The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings that he eventually relented. Eisner, however, still had major reservations about the story, the budget, and the Keith Richards-esque performance of Johnny Depp, who he declared was ruining the movie. more
2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl eventually became the fourth highest-grossing movie of that year, with just under $655 million to its name. That movie launched a five-film franchise that is currently the 14th highest-grossing film franchise of all time, ahead of Mission: Impossible and Despicable Me. To this day, the Pirates movies are some of the most successful live-action titles Disney has ever released that weren't acquisitions or remakes. So, it's no wonder that they're so keen to reboot the franchise, not once but twice. more
Johnny Depp is the undisputed star of the Pirates franchise, to the point where the filmmakers began to wholly mold the stories around the actor’s interpretation of Jack Sparrow, something that was never in the screenplay. The flipside of this decision, which did launch a successful series of movies, is that it limited the original scope of the story and the possibility to expand beyond Sparrow’s narrative. here
The movies also became wildly expensive to produce. The fourth film, On Stranger Tides, is officially the most expensive film ever produced, with an eye-watering reported cost of $379 million to its name. Depp’s salary alone was reported to have been $55 million, one of the highest ever given to one actor for a single movie. The fifth movie, Dead Men Tell No Tales, was reported to have a budget of $320 million at one point, which was eventually corrected to $230 million by Disney, but did little to quash gossip surrounding the film’s on-set problems and perpetual lateness of their star. While the movie did make $794.7 million worldwide, it ended up being the second lowest-grossing film in the franchise, in large part thanks to decreased interest from domestic audiences. Critics also grew tired of the overblown stories and increasingly parodic nature of Depp’s performance. Even in an age of blockbuster film-making that has become too big to fail, the Pirates franchise began to seem less worthwhile as an investment for Disney, especially when they had the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a plethora of live-action remakes in their corner to make up the grosses.
