Robert Pattinson to Replace Johnny Depp in Next 'Pirates of the Caribbean!?!'
Okay ladies, now would be the time to grab your paper bags for the panic attacks you're about to experience! Rumor has it that
Johnny Depp could be on his way out of the popular "
Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. The recent exit of
Disney studio chief Dick Cook has left Depp so upset, according to
MTV, that he no longer cares to continue to play
Captain Jack Sparrow.
Depp is alrea dy signed up for the the next installment, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," and the studio had planned to give the greenlight to a 5th and 6th installment as well. However, with the talk that Johnny might not be returning to the franchise, the studio is preparing to replace him if and when he decides to bow out of playing the character. This most likely wouldn't happen until the 5th movie, so Disney is prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him for the 4th.
The idea is to continue making the flicks with different pirate characters with big actor names to back them. Some of the names being tossed around are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Pattinson. The rumored story for the 4th movie involves a pirate's search for the elusive Fountain of Youth. The story makes room for a younger newcomer, a character who is said to help the pirates in their search for the mythic location.
While this could end up
Orlando Bloom's role in the next movie, it seems possible that Disney just could use that character instead as a replacement for Jack Sparrow. Pattinson was once being considered for a role as Sparrow's brother (read about Disney hunting Robert Pattinson
