Despite falling short of its final goal, the ongoing petition to bring Johnny Depp back to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has made an impact in the effort to support the actor’s return as Captain Jack Sparrow. The petition, which aimed to gather 500,000 signatures, received around 380,000 signatures before its deadline, but the organizers remain hopeful about its impact.
Fans launched the petition after Depp’s controversial exit from the franchise, reportedly due to allegations of domestic abuse made by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Depp has denied the allegations and has filed a defamation lawsuit against Heard. However, Disney parted ways with the actor and announced plans to reboot the franchise without him, disappointing fans who saw Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow as integral to the franchise’s success.
The petition aimed to show Disney that there is still significant support for Depp’s return to the franchise. Although it fell short of its final goal, it represented a significant effort by fans to voice their support for the actor.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has expressed his desire to bring back Depp, and rumors suggest that Disney may be open to the idea. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding Depp’s return to the franchise.
The organizers of the campaign have expressed their gratitude to all those who signed the petition and have stated that they will continue to fight for Depp’s return to the franchise. While the future of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise remains uncertain, the petition has shown that there is still significant support for Johnny Depp’s return to the iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow
