Johnny Depp’s recent exit from the Fantastic Beasts movie franchise has got fans showing their support and while the petition to get him rehired for the movie continues, an old petition resurfaces!
The petition to bring Johnny Depp back for Pirates of the Caribbean franchise soared past 330k signatures as fans call out to Disney to bring him back as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Disney previously reported that the movie franchise will be rebooted for the sixth movie and won’t see Johnny Depp’s return as the iconic character that many fans believe to be the heart of the franchise.
“Disney is rebooting Dead Men Tell No Tales because of its box office but don't they know that without Johnny Depp or Jack Sparrow they will sink, they will never be able to reach that horizon they are looking for," wrote the petition.
Over 332,700 fans have signed the petition at the time of writing and the other petition for Johnny Depp to return as Gellert Grindelwald is nearing 230,000 signatures too!
Johnny Depp’s Fantastic Beasts character is currently in talks to be replaced by Mads Mikkelsen.
There are currently no words for the development of the sixth film yet but Margot Robbie has just been confirmed to star in a Pirates of The Caribbean spin-off movie and promised “lots of girl power”!
The spin-off movie will be separate from the franchise reboot movie and is being developed by writer Ted Elliot and Craig Mazin.
Looks like it’s still too soon to tell what the future holds for the Pirates of The Caribbean franchise but one thing is for sure, fans want their Captain back!
