Disney’s decision to replace the male lead in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequel with a female character has sparked negative reactions from fans.
The potential replacement of Johnny Depp, who played Jack Sparrow, has not been well received.
“They’re never going to [improve upon] Jack Sparrow. The pirates movies are nothing without Sparrow. Just give it up please,” one X user wrote.
The upcoming female-led ‘PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN’ movie is still in the works at Disney.
Ayo Edebiri is being eyed to star as a character named Anne. They want a younger cast of pirates looking for a hidden treasure.

“They should leave these movies alone, no one wants to see it without Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow. They had a great run, but it’s over,” another said.
The company’s move to embrace inclusivity and diversity has been criticized, and Depp’s troubled history with Disney further complicates the situation.
