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 already 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 by clicking here.) Could he step up and be Jack himself?

If Twilight touches pirates of the carribean I personally will never let myself, or my descendants touch Disney anything
i personally hope they get to keeep Johnny Depp, as he has already established the character and it is rather difficult to imagine someone else pulling that off like he does.
on the other hand, don’t sell Robert Pattinson short, he is a damn good actor…..Twilight is not the only movies he has done. There seems to be a lot of ignorance about him and his work, so i say once again, first educate yourself about a particular person, before being judgemental…
Oh yes Robert Pattinson could become Jack Sparrow’s brother. How awesome. If Johnny wants to step down, let Robert take over. He is a great and wonderful actor apart from what he is doing now.

In any case if Will/Orlando is not in the 4th I’m not watching it. They are going to get rid of all people who made POTC what it is. If they can’t keep the whole ensemble they should let it rest. Stop ruining my favorite movies, Disney prods!

“” yes Robert Pattinson could become Jack Sparrow’s brother. How awesome. If Johnny wants to step down, let Robert take over. He is a great and wonderful actor apart from what he is doing now.”"
UH NO.
Robert pattinson SUCKS at acting & hes ugly & way to full of himself. no one can EVER take over the role as jack sparrow other than johnny depp. He is freaking amazing., rob already looks like a complete idiot in twilight, he would look even more like one if he tryed to be jack sparrow.
Pirates of the carribean is my all time favorite movie, and twilight were my favorite books. Rob already ruined one, they better NOT let him ruin another. DONT RUIN ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
they might get the robert pattinson fans but they’ll loose all your others. Pirates already has a hugggeeee fan base, they dont need more. & by replacing johnny with that idiot (robert) would be the worst move they will ever make.
Maaaaan. Robert Pattinson playing Jack Sparrow is the best thing ive heard for some time he has to get the roll in the movie!! Wooww. I think he would do a great job playing a pirate.. he can play a vampire so why not a piratee!
RobertPattinson <3
Just four words….. JOHNNY DEPP FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I had a feeling that was going to happen. Something told me move over Johnny Dep here comes Robert Pattinson. I’ll always have a soft spot for Johnny Depp… Ahhh.
