It is a fact, that any possibility of seeing Johnny Depp again as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean is ruled out, as it seems that his replacement has already been found. It is Ayo Edebiri, the actress who played Sydney Adamu in The Bear. Rumors have intensified, but fans are not very happy about this possibility.
On social networks, users have lashed out against Disney, as they consider that the only thing they have done with the classics is to “ruin them,” even Elon Musk himself expressed his annoyance at this idea.
According to several U.S. media, the mouse company is determined to reboot the story with the help of this actress, who recently won a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and the Critics Choice Awards for her role in the series starring Jeremy Allen White. According to Insider, for the sixth film in the saga, Ayo Edeberi could play Anne Bonny, a famous and feisty pirate of Irish roots.
This information is not yet official, but if so, everything seems to indicate that it will not be a favorite of Pirates of the Caribbean fans, and like the other Disney live-action productions, it could fail due to the rejection of seeing someone other than Johnny Depp.
Recall that in 2022, there was also talk of the possibility of Margot Robbie giving life to the female version of Captain Jack Sparrow, but it all remained mere rumors, something that could happen with what is said of Ayo Edebiri. However, now we just have to wait and see what they say about the future of this famous saga.
