@DEERBLOOD @Hoss I didn't really follow the drama, but by what I understood, Disney didn't really want to replace Depp (at least not right away).
They wanted one last run with him where they could completely destroy the character of Jack Sparrow and THEN replace him with a Strong Womyn of Color.
But then Depp said "LOL no", and they didn't have other choice.

@Suzu @Hoss That tracks. Their MO so far (star wars' indiana jones, etc) is to have the male protag turn into a weak cowardly incompetant fool before "passing the torch" to a woman that's better than him in every way
