But before Warner forced the actor to leave his role as Grindelwald, Disney already made a similar decision regarding the next installments of Pirates of the Caribbean, a franchise that, according to the study, has no future for Depp, even in a small cameo.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has made the final decision that Depp will not reprise Captain Jack Sparrow in future Pirates of the Caribbean films, a measure that has been around since legal disputes between him and his ex-partner Amber Heard began. , but that has finally been made official.

Jerry Bruckheimer, who was one of Depp’s biggest advocates and even suggested that his finger injury had occurred because he ‘smashed it with the car door,’ hoped to bring Captain Jack Sparrow back at least briefly in the next period film, ‘adds the THR report.
Finally, the medium points out that “Disney opposed” Depp’s participation in what will be the sixth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, and that it will focus on “a woman played by Margot Robbie.” “Insiders say the actor’s relationship with Bruckheimer has deteriorated sharply in recent months,” they say.
