The company would have prevented the actor from having a cameo in the reboot of the franchise
If there is one thing we can be sure of regarding ” Pirates of the Caribbean, ” it is that the franchise may not have had the same impact among audiences without the contributions of Johnny Depp in the character of Jack Sparrow. Disney is currently developing a reboot starring Margot Robbie, and everything seems to indicate that the studio is not interested in even giving the actor a cameo.
Various reboots, regardless of their quality as an independent story, have paid tribute to those who were part of the original installment, but it seems that Disney seeks to distance the possible new franchise from its original legacy and given the controversies surrounding the figure of Depp, they would seek to distance themselves from the actor.

Despite the fame that Depp currently has in the media, franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer would have tried to give the actor a cameo in the new installment. Such efforts have been blocked by Disney executives, according to a chronicle by The Hollywood Reporter.
The public controversies of the actor would begin in 2016, when his then-wife Amber Heard made a series of accusations against him for domestic abuse, demanding a divorce. In subsequent years, he would have made a series of attempts to clean up his public image, although certain reports would point out him as a person with erratic behavior.
After losing the defamation lawsuit that the actor issued against the British tabloid ” The Sun “, it would reveal that Warner Bros executives invited him to resign his role in the third installment of ” Fantastic Beasts “, being replaced by the Danish Mads Mikkelsen.
Given Robbie’s growing popularity with the media and critics, as well as the company’s target audience, it is clear that Disney would seek not to take risks by giving a role, even a small one, to Depp, who in recent months has received media support of diverse actors and directors as in the case of Tim Burton.
