100%  they could have gone with a illigitamate son and killed him off.  Same like 2 and a half men that was a painful death when they replaced sheen.

Just won't be the same "Pirates" without the main pirate.  

RIP Captain Jack.  You made that franchise what it is, now they're gonna Deep 6 you.

"you will remember this day as the day you "LOST" Captain Jack Sparrow" !!!

Nobody else can be a more credible captain jack Sparrow than Johnny Depp !!!!

And he's just missed the James Bond 007 franchise reboot as well.

 

Damn the luck!

I wonder which moron, or morons made that decision at Disney. I may suggest they are well qualified to work at Pattaya City Council to oversee the flooding and beach building works.

[BoganInParasite]

We'll look back on that decision as causing the obvious death of that franchise.

Same team that decided the masses would lap up a movie franchise based on a Disney Park theme ride. If people will go to see that they'll watch any actor or movie.

It's interesting to see what entertains the masses considering that movies nowadays are completely devoid of any originality.  Just sequel, sequel, sequel, sequel -- reboot. 
It's mind-numbing but the public laps it up. 

[Thechook]

Won't work without Depp or Rush

[Retiredandhappyhere]

Johnny Depp made the film what it was and his absence will surely kill it off.

Might work with Jack Sparrow – same same, but different – as "pirates" became a success long before his appearance...????

Pirates of the Caribbean is a dark ride attraction at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Park in Paris. The original version at Disneyland, which opened in 1967, was the last attraction whose construction was overseen by Walt Disney; he died three months before it opened. The ride, which tells the story of a band of pirates and their troubles and exploits, was replicated at the Magic Kingdom in 1973, at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, and at Disneyland Paris in 1992. Each of the initial four versions of the ride has a different façade but a similar ride experience. A reimagined version of the ride, Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, opened at the Shanghai Disneyland Park in 2016.

The ride gave rise to the song "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" written by George Bruns and Xavier Atencio. The song became the basis for the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, which debuted in 2003. Since 2006, Disney has incorporated characters from the film series into the Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris versions of the rides.
